Lens

They are about equal. Both sharp. XT-30ii built like a tank. LX100ii lighter and smaller but very sharp

Controls

Equal - they both have shutter speed and ev compensation, and neither has ISO. LX100ii crop switch on lens is awesome. XT-30ii manual switch on front is great.

XT-30ii with its film simulations is really special. This is the one most important differentiator.

JPEG + RAW

The XT-30ii lets you shoot JPEG + RAW simultaneously which is s huge benefit. It also has several features that support RAW exposure and "ETTR" - exposing to the right.

Price

Not a good comparison. LX100ii is almost half the price of the XT-30ii.

Overall

Depending on use case they are equal. They service different needs.
