I had a D5300 years ago in like 2014, don't have XT100, but will say the X E2 is a step back in AF from the Nikon. I like the files and using the Fuji better though.

I've used D5300 on a safari and it tracked lions and zebras at night, the X E2 would def struggle in that kind of condition. It had 39 point AF and same autofocus as it's flagship Crop DSLR of the time, just in a smaller cheapish plastic body with no in body AF motor.

Note I also had the small Canon SL1... this was also back when I couldn't afford Fuji's lenses, but prices are way down for Fuji with many more options.

For a camera, Fuji is for sure the better experience IMO to either of those smallish Canikon DSLRs.

For street with the 35 f2, why not just prefocus? That lens is pretty snappy anyway I'm told.

Welcome to shooting Fuji..
