You had an X100. That is very capable.
If you still have it use it or send to me! Money sent by PayPal. My X100 has died after 4-5 years use. Not heavy use but it has a screw loose inside (literally!) and is not right. It is probably repairable but is it economic to do so?
I have decided that Fuji stuff is lighter built than Nikon so doesnt last as long but is just as good unless you need/want fast AF.
For landscape who cares the Fuji wins, for wildlife or sport leave the Fuji at home and take the Nikon!
Will let you know in a few weeks. I have decided to take ONLY Fuji equipment on my next European adventure. Wildlife will hopefully figure in it ...so I will see if the Fuji copes. If it doesn't, there will be a grand Fuji sale in time for Christmas.
I just don't see the point of keeping one system for one category ( eg landscape = Fuji) Nikon bodies are not that much heavier than Fuji and could equally be used for landscape as wildlife as sports.
Time to make a decision...watch this space.
