Appreciate your thoughts. You say the Fuji kit lens is definitely better than Nikon's. Do you mean that I can expect sharper JPEGs from the X-T10 than the D5500 assuming I pair them with their respective kit lenses? Also, the Fuji lens appears to be one stop faster on both ends than the Nikon. That would give it an advantage in low-light, am I correct?

The Fuji 18-55mm is generally regarded as the best kit lens available. In fact calling it a kit lens is unfair as it's a really good quality piece of glass (how many kit lenses are F2.8-F4?). The Nikon kit lens actually gets reasonable reviews and is quite sharp when stopped down a little but the Fuji is up there with lenses like the Tamron 17-50mm. And yes, it's faster than the Nikon so would be more useful in low light.
