X-T4 from Sony A6600?

You misunderstood my meaning. Yes. The Fuji lenses are sharp. I shoot RAW + JPEG and get very sharp results. However the Fuji lenses have more of a beautiful classic rendering than Sony lenses. This is high praise from me, not criticism. I spend a fortune on lenses from companies like Voigtlander, to get lens character over lens precision. I’m almost always at f1.4 with Fuji lenses and only rarely stop down if I need extra focus depth. So I’m using Fuji lenses to achieve as near to a vintage look as I can get. It’s my choice to use them this way. When I need “sharp” the lenses rise to the occasion.
When it comes to ergonomics, I find the X-T3 to be the best Fuji all round. (From the ones I’ve tried of course). I include the placement and function of buttons as part of the ergonomic properties of a camera, as well as the grip. How on Earth the placement of the Q button on the X-T30 got past the design testing stage, I’ve no idea. You really don’t have an option other than to disable it, which thankfully you can now do after a firmware update. (Don’t get me going on the touch screen).
When it comes to all-day in hand comfort, I’d say Canon do a better job with ergonomics. Because of the design of their grip and placement of the buttons, shutter release etc.
Anyway, as I said, I’m totally sold on Fuji for the lenses, the fun factor, the film settings, for being bold enough to produce a camera like the X-Pro 3, etc. My tiny X-T30 is with me all day, every day, enabling me to produce superb images and amusing me with its design flaws.

You can definitely get more clinical results with Fuji as well, though. It depends a lot on what software you edit with and how you edit.

Like I said I love the Fuji ergonomics, but I do actually agree that the grip could be a bit better/bigger on the X-T3. I haven't held an X-T4, but it is a bit thicker so the grip should be a bit nicer to hold. There is of course also the X-H1 if you want a bigger/deeper grip.

I've never used an X-T30, but yes, the Q-button does look quite oddly placed

Btw, if you want a lens with character I can highly recommend the Mitakon 35/0.95, it gives your photos more of a "vintage" look than any Fuji lens does. It's also a lot cheaper than Voigtländer lenses
