I mostly shoot street photography.

I've been using a X100F for some time.

I started to miss some other focal lengths.

I like my Fuji handling, so I was tempted to go S10 or T30 plus 18-55 and 27 prime (selling my X100F)

But I see that there's a lot of good deals on FF now, for instance Z5+24-70 f4 at 1700 Euro (vs 1400 for S10/T30+18-55). I could add a Nikon 40mm for a smaller package.

The Z5 is FF, sealed, much nicer viewfinder... It is very tempting. It seems like much better camera for a (relatively) not much bigger price. It is obviously bigger (I don't think that bothers me that much) and heavier (that worries me a little)

Any suggestions?

Full disclosure, I once owned a Nikon z6, I didn't buy many native Z lenses because they were relatively expensive. Nikon Z is the wrong system to get into if price/cost features high in one's buying decision except if you are going to restrict yourself to the kit lens, 40f2 and the 28f2.8.

Really? I only looked at those and they don't seem to be more expensive compared to Fuji equivalent lenses (and Nikon's are FF...).

It really depends on what you need.

Same thing with Canon RP: a FF camera which is way less expensive compared to Fuji APSC cameras.

Just because it is full frame does not mean it is better than a modern APSC.
