Torn over X-T2

Hello,

I'm having a lot of trouble deciding on a new camera. Since 2011, I have been carrying a Nikon D7000, and since 2014 with a Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 lens. However, it weighs much too much, my shoulder and back end up suffering if I carry it around for a day or more.

I have a Fujifilm X100s that I've been very pleased with, so I thought upgrading to a Fujifilm X-T2 would be a good idea. Instead, I've spent the past two weeks agonising over whether I should get it, for reasons other than its imaging abilities.

I'm not as active a photographer as I used to be, work keeps me busy, and I can no longer go off travelling for months at a time, as I used to do. I'm worried that I'll find the X-T2 too bulky in day-to-day usage, and just end up using my iPhone or my X100s.

So I've also been considering the PEN-F, unable to decide on whether usb-charging, weather-sealing, and the difference in image quality, is worth the smaller size (and lower cost). I do still travel and spend time in the outdoors though...

Can you tell that I'm conflicted? I also live in a country with terrible return policies, so once a camera is bought, that's that.

I hope this wasn't too long, and I hope you have some good input :).

Thank you
