btw.: I know the OP will disagree, but Fuji really delivers on the feature+compact+lenses side. But then, they are looking at a different niche again. The thing that differentiates Fuji from most others (Canon/Nikon): They deliver everything they can, without crippling or holding back for strategic reasons. This then again leads to people whining why they bought the expensive XH1, when the quickly after released X-T3 seems to best it in so many ways... Hard to make everyone happy while gaining market share!

I like Fujifilm cameras, and they have a great lens lineup. But I think it is a stretch to accuse Canon of crippling cameras and to claim that Fuji delivers everything they can. It's more about scheduling: Fuji does not have a large market share, and tends to release top of the range products in which they put all the latest technology they can muster. But they then also release lower cost models that DO compromise on features to meet a cost target. Canon does the same, but tends to start at the lower end, and they almost always release their top of the range model after their entry level model(s). They also update less frequently, and I'm quite grateful about that because it means I am not tempted to upgrade very often, until significant improvements have been made, and I don't have the same feeling that a quick succession of new bodies has obsoleted what I own, like Fuji XH-1 owners must feel now.
