I was tempted by the Q2 when it came out, but decided, for three simple reasons to stay with my ancient (in digital terms!) Fuji X100S, which serves a similar purpose, at least till the camera disintegrates in my hand, as the resale value is negligible: 1. Two superb extra screw in lenses, which extend the 35mm equivalent native lens to 28mm and 50mm as well, without altering the maximum aperture of f2. 2. No service facilities in the whole of India, a bummer in this age of electronic cameras. Accessing service from Singapore is a PITA. 3. The single most important reason - I am a huge fan of the combination OVF/EVF viewfinder, which really gives maximum flexibility, as I can switch from one to the other as required by flicking a conveniently placed switch! In fact I like the combination viewfinder so much that I will probably upgrade my Fuji X-T2, which only has an EVF, to the Fuji X-Pro 3, which has the combo, when it comes out, just to access this feature.
