FujiNoFilm made at least three attempts to make GR II/III alternative. If I'm not mistaken.
Is it possible to build alternative to Q? It looks like X-E3 with 18/2 is slightly lighter alternative. And seems to be incredibly lighter on the pocket.
Is film simulation on X-E3 is as good as on X100V? I like JPEG1 SOOC.

Two that I can think of...the X70 and XF10.
Also, the X100 series with the 18mm (28mm) adapter.
Yes, but the X100V will have a few more simulations available than the X-E3. To me, the X-E3 is the best new camera deal out there. Make sure to buy the 18mm F2 used for about 40% off.

1399 X100V + 349 WCL-X100 II= 1748. At this price used Q with 2200 USD not so rare price is even more tempting 
.
Older X100 series, for some reason I never liked their build and first generation of lens seems to be not impressive @f2.
Is X-E4 on horizon?

That's completely true... and a good point.
Supposedly... but with Covid-19, who knows when.

If I could find cost effective solution with FujiFilm I won't need to sell even my M4-2.
Yes, I forgot, no need to sell M4 P or M3....Well...maybe one of them?

X-E3 with 23/1.4. You got a real focus ring. Throw is a bit coarse though.

My prior experiences with Fuji digital cameras soured me on them. I really don't like the Fuji sensors at all.
I'd buy a Leica Q2 if I wanted a fixed lens camera in this class of portable, fixed lens compacts: best controls, nicest sensor, superb lens. Of course, it's very expensive, but it's the only one in the class that I might feel was a strong enough performer to last a few cycles past the next model. Like the Leica CL, it just does most things "right enough" to be satisfying and useful for a long time. Sorta like the Olympus E-1 DSLR as well, which I still occasionally use.

Well then how about Panasonic LX100II?

Fast lens...a little zoom. Leica inspired and branded.

It seems closely related to the Panasonic LX1 and a similar size. Probably a nice enough camera, but I don't really like zoom lenses much and I found the LX1 a bit too small for my hands: somewhat fiddly in operation. It took very nice photos, however.
Most small, fixed lens, compact cameras end up with that kind of issue: they seem too small for my hands and prove a bit fiddly in use. The Q/Q2 is a nice size camera and a pleasure to hold, for me. I'd rather have its high mpixel on a FF sensor and crop a prime lens' capture to fit my framing rather than a zoom. (It's what I do with the Hasselblad 907x as well.)

Boooo... just for the record, some of us actually prefer the X-Trans.
But...nothing wrong with either of these two options either...

There are only 2 cameras whose native JPEG's have instantly appealed to me: the Q and the Sigma Fp. Happily, I will never spend that much, so I slum it with used Fuji's. Can't really go wrong with an X100(X) unless you have big hands and 5 thumbs.

We just returned from our 10+ km walk through the forest with crazy dog. If I'll buy Q2 (after selling I gear I have) will insurance take it as the reason for the claim? - "Our dog broke off leash and my camera was beaten by our dog while I was trying to put her back on".
