Hi Pringles,
 
I was in the same situation as you a couple of years ago.
I would take pictures with my cell phone or a Canon G9, but I always felt limited.
Limited, not so much with the quality of the photos with the cameras, but limited with my knowledge of how to take great pictures.
 
I wanted something fully manual which would allow me to make mistakes and force me to learn. 
For me, the Fuji fits that bill. All the dials are there, and I don't have to hunt on the screen and dive into a menu to change a setting.
I settled on the Fuji XT10, but a year later bought the XT2.
 
If you can afford the XT2, I say go for it.
 
The picture quality is fantastic, and the lens selection is vast.
Of all the lenses that I have, I find myself using the 23mm, (35mm equivalent) for almost all of my street, landscape and architectural photography.
The 23 is good for people, but may create an unflattering perspective of your subject when used close which is why the 56mm and 90mm are so good for portrait work.
I bought the 18-55 kit with the XT10 and I think I've used it once. I just wasn't as impressed with that lens compared to my primes.
 
Fuji is running a good sale now on all of their products. If you are in NY, it would definetely be to your advantage to check out B&H or Adorama.

Hello Everyone.
 
I'm a previous Canon G10 user, but I wanted expanded my knowledge base using interchangeable lenses.
I have the Fuji X-T10, along with the 16, 27, 35, 56, and the 18-55.
