As mentioned in another recent thread, I'm a Nikon FF and APS-C guy but got deep into Fuji for travel and I have been very happy with them.
I still maintain my Nikon system because of (amateur) event, street and light sports (young adult soccer) photography. They do better in those situations because of faster AF (and likely due to inadequate technique on my part, relying on the AF mechanism too much).
Also, and specifically with my FF Nikons, they give me better low light performance (e.g. poorly lit venues for events). And for portraiture, I like what they do when mated to a decent FF lens.
Sounds like I'm only lukewarm with Fuji but I'm not. I'm very happy with what they give me on my travels.
And often, due to "momentum", I continue to shoot with the Fujis when I get back from a trip, because: 1) they are lying around nearby from being just unpacked and the Nikon gear is put away, and 2) the Fujis are great. I almost don't miss my Nikons.
But then an event will come along where I know the shooting conditions will be tough and I pull out the big guys.
I actually don't find the Nikons too heavy because I don't have pro-level glass (I have mid-grade lenses). And would be content to shoot exclusively with them when at home.
But the other day, when I had been shooting a fair bit with the Nikons, I needed to move some of my Fuji bodies and lenses from one place to another and--WOW! I picked up an X-T10 with the 18-55mm and compared to an FF Nikon with a 70-200 f/4, it was featherweight!
