Looks like you did a reply in someone else's thread instead of starting your own.

Yes the 24-120 will work with a Fuji or Nikon DSLR. Because the digital sensor is smaller than film frame it will give you a view that is like 1.5 times the marked focal length in film terms i.e. it will be like a 36-180mm. A rather strange combination where you've lost the true wide-angle end.

I have a 24-85mm that I was very happy with in my film bodies. When I tried it on my DSLR bodies I was disappointed. It was OK but the designed-for-digital lenses like the 18-70 kit lens that came with my D70 is much sharper. If you're thinking of just buying a DSLR body and using your existing lenses then you're going to miss out on a great deal with the Nikon kit lenses.
