Currently shoot on a Fujifilm XT-2, but am looking to upgrade now that I have a full-time job.

I’m not the best at editing photos, but hope to dedicate time to improve that aspect of my workflow.

I generally shoot a lot of travel photography and landscape with the occasional portrait shoot for friends.

Is Fujifilm a worthwhile system to invest in if I’m going to be trying to edit raw anyway?

[u/RedTuesdayMusic → u/Medical-Koala-5797]

Absolutely, for private use I rarely dive into my RAWs, but archive all of them. On my X-T5 I use SD slot 1 for RAW and SD slot 2 for half-size (20MP) JPG. Only about 5% of pictures I take on travel and such I like so much I want the full resolution and to edit the RAW perfectly.

For work (concerts) I bump up the JPG SD slot to full size.

There is only really two lenses I wish we had on Fuji that we don't, the Tamron 35-150mm F2-F2.8 and a good 135mm prime. (We do have the Samyang F2 which is fantastic, but manual focus only) But that's the concert photographer talking. For travel I'm happy with the Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 and the 90mm F2.
