Re: Leica Q vs X100v or stick with xt4

I would look at the focal lengths of the lenses first,  Primes are all about field of view for me.  Then, if you are looking for an always available carry-along camera, overall size, including lens and strap.  Then shooting experience.  Then sensor size and all that jazz.

May I respectfully offer my own solution in this role? It's all about the classic "40" field of view for me.  So, I have a wonderful old X-M1, and I just put the new 27mm f/2.8 WR on  it (replacing the original version of that lens).   You may not be a "40" person, but this is just an example of the great cheap solutions that lurk out there based on older small cameras.

Another, more conventional option, is a Ricoh GR.  Cheaper than the Leica or the Fuji, two focal lengths available, very small, crop sensor, no viewfinder.
