Fuji compared to Canon R6 (and R)
2

I use a Canon R6 in my day job as a photographer and video creator. I produce all sorts of content for many different customers. Both for web, youtube and other social media platforms.
In my spare time I use a Fujifilm X-E4 and more recently an X-T3.
My lenses are. Fuji 14mm, fuji 18-55, fuji 27mm and fuji 50mm F/2.
Not the most expensive lenses, but they work. For canon I use the expensive 2,8 lenses.

This is better with Canon:
-Canon R6 i faster to work with, in general.
-Canon menus are more intuitive and easier, but still, fuji has some possibilities that lack with canon.
-Fuji menu system reverts back to "my menu" every time. I hate that.
-PASM is faster to work with. End of story. Top wheel for shutter, back top wheel for ISO, and back dial for aputure. (With fuji I find that I have to unlock the wheels(xt3) wich takes time)
-Touch screen is way better with canon (at least compared to X-E4 and X-t3)
-It just works. Reliable.
-AF might be better, but still not perfect
-You can map a button to pause AF during video. (subject walks out of frame)
-The R6 20mpx with 24-70 have better details when comparing to the 26mpx on fuji. I guess FF and APS-C kicks in. (It might also be my lack of expensive XF glass)
-Far lower ISO noise on the R6 compared to the x-trans IV sensor.

What I don't like about Canon:
-Big, heavy and expensive
-No third party lens support
-Canon cribble-hammer (with pp is banned)

This is better with Fujifilm:
-I find the raw files easier to work with. It is easier to get nice colors with fuji. The colors seem better straight out of camera. Still canon has more detail. FF vs crop.
-The film simulations are really fun. And you can make your own. I really like this.
-The cameras are more fun. The canon is just a tool. The fujifilm have soul.
-Small, easy to carry around. I would never bring my R6 and 24-70 going hiking. Just too heavy. 
-Cheaper
-

Probably many more small things... That I don't remember.
