If you are expecting APO image quality out of this, just cancel your pre-order.
Definitely not expecting APO level, no. I had the Q3 and RX1Rii as well. Some reviewers have stated that the lens wasn't that sharp on the X100IV, but the images I've seen don't seem to illustrate that. I'm going to be using it for mostly travel and digital posting. My SL3 is for more critical photography.
My experience with the X100VI is that it's plenty sharp for casual photos and if you're sharing on social media, it's still nicer than an iPhone photo. However, if you're picky about image quality, you're definitely giving up some of it by taking it out vs the Leica Q3 as the next size up camera. Within the Fuji universe of lenses, its image quality is probably comparable to one of their f2 lineup of lenses.
I found the image quality to be pretty good for people photos - not too sharp while still capturing good detail but it's not great for landscapes or any situation where you want critical sharpness.
Comparing the X100VI to the Leica Q3 isn't a fair comparison. The Q3 is a $6000 camera with one of the best lenses in their stable and it has a 60 MP sensor.
I agree, it's not a fair comparison in the context of image quality. On the Q3, the lens is sharper across the entire frame, and the sensor has much higher resolving power with less noise. The lenses are also not the same focal length.
I've used the X100V for a few years now; there are things I dislike about the camera but image sharpness is not one of them.
Plenty of websites have full size crops of X100V files to help people determine whether the images are acceptably sharp for whatever use the photographer has in mind.
