I have the Nikon Z6 with 24-70 and 24-200, as well as the Z50 with 16-50 and 50-250.
Should I keep my Fuji X100F as a 'general' walk around/street photography camera
(and for its B/W Acros feature) ? I do have issues and am somewhat inadept with its settings and features....
Appreciate any suggestions as to adding Nikon lenses, and/or ???
Thank you for your input. Ken

I would keep the kit I wanted to keep, and get rid of the kit I didn't want to keep. But, I do my own thinking - your results may vary. Good luck with whatever you decide.

The Z50 with the 16-50mm (24-75mm equivalent) lens is about the same height and width as the X100F, but the lens sticks out further on the Z50. The X100F lens is 23mm (35mm equivalent). It’s a trade off between size and focal length versatility. Which ever is more important to you.

What are you asking, and what is the condition of your Fuji X100F?

I have never used a Fuji camera and I do not believe I will ever in my lifetime use one. I am sure those cameras are very capable but the idea of having a camera that lacks interchangeable lenses is not my cup of coffee. I have a friend who is an avid street shooter and he uses a camera which brand I do not remember that has a fixed lens equivalent to 35 mm. It is a fixed lens and he has outstanding images from it.

The Nikon mirrorless cameras you own are very capable cameras from what I have seen and they have interchangeable lenses. I believe you have taken the right decision.

I would wait one year, if you have not used or not found a use for your Fuji, then sell it. It is too early to decide. And personally, I find that if I decide what is best for me I am usually better off than by listening to everyone else.
Looks like you already have a good assortment of lenses. However, if wildlife is in your future, Nikon will be introducing a 200-600 within the year.

I own both Nikon and Fuji cameras. And I use both. I would not sell anything just yet. Wait 6 months and if you have not used one, put one up for sale. If it is the Fuji that goes, it will likely hold it’s value to a certain degree, and I doubt you will have a problem selling it. That said, I use my Fuji XE3 with a 27mm pancake lens often for travel since it is more compact that my XT3 or Z5, with lenses attached. Still, your decision as to when to sell.

My guiding principle has always been, "If I'm not using it, why am I keeping it." Although I tend to accumulate large numbers of many things - like 100 ukuleles - I'm more sensible with my cameras. I find no reason to keep cameras that spend their whole lives in drawers. If the Fuji is useful for something the Nikons can't do, maybe you should keep it.

I wouldn't sell it. The Fuji is an outstanding general purpose carry camera easily slipped into a pocket. If you don't have any need for that sell it.

Ken,

I live in Bethesda (I’m also a “Ken”).

If you see a tall, grey-haired guy walking around with a Fuji X-100 V. That’s me.

I can’t imagine why you’d give up your Fuji. I was all in on Canon, and never give a moments thought to going back.
