I did not switch but I have always been a Nikon user with lots of good glass. Even after I cleaned up my glass closed a lot, I felt like something smaller and lighter to travel with.

This s why I took x-t20 and honestly I love it. I cannot judge if it will be an update for you. For me, as reference I have the D850, the quality is good enough. I mostly miss the cropping ability and the OOF from my full frame. But less often than I expected.

Fuji lenses are really goodfrom wide open. Even the low 16-50 is a very good traveling lens. The 16 is wonderful.

one advantage of Fuji is that jpegs are really good, so processing is often very light and does not always need to be done on RAW. Nikon is much worse in this.

my biggest regret is not leaving my D850 home when I travel, but it is that I bought a x-t20 instead of a x-t2. With a grip is just like a t2, but I really miss the joystick!!!! Changing focus point with the touch screen is a big no and with the keypad ... equally slow.

As for raw format. I tried them all .. I use adobe and in very few extreme cases SilkyPix or iridient.
