Let’s cut to the chase.
[→R] If you’re living abroad long-term, adore outdoor adventures, frequently shoot in high-altitude terrain, or demand uncompromising image quality for professional work—just grab the 100RF. Its high-resolution sensor delivers buttery-smooth color gradients, and the featherlight design is a game-changer.
As for the 28mm lens stabilization debate? Pure noise. Serious shooters know the leaf shutter handles vibrations effortlessly. By online logic, Leica M and Hasselblad 907 users should probably surrender their cameras altogether.
[→R] For China-based creatives wanting to elevate everyday moments into art, the Q3 shines. Its premium lens and Leica’s legendary color science (though not quite M-series magic) transform mundane scenes. That f/1.7 aperture slices through urban chaos—blurring out garish billboards, crowded streets, and tourist mobs with elegant simplicity.
Here’s the hard truth: social media has warped our priorities. We obsess over specs, invent phantom needs, and lose sight of what really matters. Years back, I shot an entire UK portfolio on a humble Fujifilm APS-C. Technically “flawed” by today’s standards, yet those landscapes and spontaneous moments still take my breath away. When you’re capturing true beauty, does f/4 versus f/2.8 actually matter? What you’re really chasing is poetry—the ability to frame soul-stirring horizons.
So who’s this compact medium-format camera for? Fujifilm’s official samples tell the whole story: it’s for seizing moments you’ll never want to forget. The Q series? Equally brilliant in its own right—flawless execution for the modern photographer. Choose what serves your vision. Aesthetics, after all, live in the eye of the beholder.
Pro tip: Fujifilm’s film simulations transform under pristine skies. When I revisit shots where sunlight actually looked like liquid gold, I realize some magic can’t be replicated. Same goes for DJI Hasselblad’s “Changsha, Hunan” color science—no profile can polish a Wuyi Square billboard into fine art. Gear should serve your subject, never the other way around.

I’m leaning towards the GFX100RF for my landscape photography trips next year—it sounds like the image quality will be worth it. But I do wonder how the battery life compares between these two models since that’s always a痛点 for me when shooting outdoors.
I’m torn between these two because I love landscape photography but also need something compact for travel. The GFX100RF’s image quality sounds amazing, but the portability of the Q3 might win me over if I prioritize convenience. Guess it depends on whether I want to go full pro or keep things flexible.
You really can’t go wrong with either! If you’re leaning toward landscape photography, the GFX100RF’s image quality will help your landscapes stand out. But if travel flexibility is key, the Q3’s portability could be a game-changer. Personally, I think it depends on how you see your photography evolving—both options are solid choices! Thanks for sharing your dilemma—it’s a great question.
