Best (VIDEO) Camera Out There

I am not a Fuji person, so I am not very familiar with the Fuji cameras. But what you have will shoot FullHD video, so why not start using it to shoot videos?

It would be a great way to learn how to shoot video and without a lot of additional expense. You will learn what works and what doesn't works. You will learn the limitations of your gear and you will learn what you might need to improve your game.

Yes, I agree with this 100%.

Video production is very, very different from shooting stills.  With a still you pretty much know what you've got right away, but with video you don't really discover what you're missing until you fire up your video editor and try to put everything together.  You need some experience doing this in order to inform your choice of shots when you're out in the field capturing things.

And the editing process for any decent video is not a trivial matter.  It's an entirely new skill to learn - some people take to it and really enjoy it and other people don't.  If you find that sitting for hours in front of a screen choosing shots, transitions, sequencing, pacing and audio (yeah, audio is a another whole new universe to master too) isn't really your cup of tea, then it's probably not worth your while to invest a lot of money in high end equipment.

So I guess what I'm saying is that shooting the video is only a very small part of the process.  The smart move would be to some up with some small video project you'd like to see and use whatever you have right now to shoot it, then put it together to experience the whole process.  It could be something simple like a video tour of your house or a tourist attraction.  For editing, you could get started with the free version of DaVinci Resolve, an excellent video editor - it has a learning curve but that's part of experiencing what video production is like and if you find that you're cut out for video it has all the capabilities you're ever likely to need.
