Good day fellow experienced photographers and Fujifilm users. I would like get some of your opinions. I am new to photography(still using my Samsung Note 3 to take pictures now) and would like to purchase a camera for photo taking and also video shooting(university assignment use only I guess). I did some research on both mirrorless and DSLR's and ended up with the internet suggesting to get either the Fuji xt10(mirrorless) or Nikon d5300/5500(dslr). So here are my doubts with each camera. (I am leaning more to towards the Fuji xt10)

1. I read somewhere that says mirrorless cameras are easier to use than dslr's for those who are new to this?
2. The Fuji xt10 has a tilting screen as compared to the nikon which has a various angled screen( which I prefer over the xt10's tilting screen)
3. Are batteries expensive? I wouldn't mind lugging around a few more batteries as I read the battery life of a mirrorless is half of a dslr
4. Should I wait for xt10's successor to be released as the screen might be various angled instead of tilting only cause I'm not really in a rush to get a camera yet(I can wait till around Apr-May 2017 ish).
5. The design of the silver xt10 >>> almost all of the mirrorless and dslrs I've seen and would it attract too much attention?
6. Should I buy those camera sets with lens included or should I get them seperately? Also what type of lens is suitable if I really do get the xt10 or it's successor?

Hmm I guess I will wait alittle bit more first before purchasing the camera (the more I look at the xt10 the more I like it) but thanks for the insights.

X-T1 and X-T2 is wayyy over my budget and I'm still a uni student(parents only agreed to fund a small amount only the rest I need to top up myself. ) Most probably I will wait for the X-T20 and then only decide between either one. I'll only upgrade the camera after working for 1-2 years next time. But thanks again for the opinions.
