I have a Fujifilm and the Nikon Z6 and I find them to be excellent cameras. I do find that the Fujifilm has a very pleasing color rendering.
HOWEVER....the Nikon Z6 feels much better and secure in the hand. What drives me batty with the Fujifilm is that I simply cannot keep my hand from touching the multi-pad on the back of the camera which causes accidental changes and things to popup in the viewfinder just about the time I'm ready to take a shot. It's a great camera and I now delegate it for studio macro work where I do not touch the camera.

Fuji has an entire lineup of interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras, both APS-C and Medium format. They’re outstanding, as are all the lenses. The Fuji X100F (part of the X100 family) is the only fixed lens mirrorless camera they sell.

I have also found it is very easy to accidentally change settings (usually shutter speed) by inadvertently moving the rear thumbwheel on my Fuji X-T2 - maybe my hands are too big. I fixed the problem by reassigning it. I love many things about the Fuji (including the low weight), but I prefer the size of my FF Canon for the way it feels in my hand also.

Peter,
I just sold it yesterday.
Was in 'like-new' condition and I got $590. for it.
Sorry I missed out on a 'Hedgehog' member.

I have Nikon dslr's and a Fuji X100. I use the Fuji for people pics and the Nikons for most everything else.
As others have mentioned; I also find the Fuji color rendering to be very pleasing. One consideration for the Fuji camera is which software will work well with the X trans processor files. Darktable and RawTherapee are open source (free) programs that support The Fuji processor files. Darktable is supposedly well suited to a beginner (like me) when it comes to post processing. I would keep the Fuji. Whatever you decide; get out and have fun with those cameras!

The Fuji is no slouch, but your Nikons have most bases covered. If you can afford to have the Fuji around for what little it can do that the Nikons can't, then so be it, otherwise, unload the Fuji.

Nice cameras.
1. Only you can decide to keep or get rid of.
2. Something like a Tamron 150-600mm will round out your kit.

Why don't you keep them all? It's always a good idea to have a smaller fixed lens camera in your arsenal and you can't get much better than the Fuji X100 series. Don't know what you mean about your somewhat inadept with it's settings and features, Nikon & Fuji are two different cameras.
