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?

For street I use Fuji. The bodies are smaller and so are the lenses. Full frame, everything will be bigger. It may not bother you, the photographer, but everyone is going to notice you more. Just something to consider. I wouldn’t dream of running around downtown with my R6. Just too intrusive with all the lenses I have.
