I've owned both the Q and the V. I now shoot with the X-Pro3.

Knowing what I know now? I'd take the X100V any day. The Q isn't exactly "lightweight". It felt like a brick bouncing off my back when I carried it around. The X100V on the other hand is super light - too light in fact, that it almost felt like I'm not carrying anything.

I love silver bodies, and my X100V with the square hood looked more like an M camera than the black Leica Q ever did.

I also felt "limited" with the 28mm Leica Q lens. The 35mm (equivalent) lens on the X100V is much better for me, more versatile IMO.

Lastly, the Fuji film simulations are lots of fun. I don't even shoot RAW anymore because of it. Just JPG for me.
