How do you like XT10? You feel limited? I noticed Fuji has compact mirrorless but they use the same sensor as XT-2. I wonder where they fit the bill except for the compact size and cheaper price.

no internet back then

Does mirrorless take much better pictures than the best camera on a cellphone ?

Thanks for your lens recommendations. I'll ease into new lenses over time. I'll probably stick to a kit lens for now.

Can a camera really last 10 years ? Do cameras get slower over time like a smartphone ? They are both electronics.

yes way to go

Hi Konzy - Thank you so much for your input. You must have spent hours on this reply!!!! I do agree that you shouldn't spend too much on your first camera. The thing is, I only intend to buy ONE camera. I'm not a photographer and am not intending to, so I don't intend to step up the game all the time with new gear. Ideally, I want to buy something that can last me 5+ years. Do you think X-T2 can do that? Or is my expectation too high? As for DSLR, I like the view finder, but I probably won't buy it due to its bulkiness. Here is why. I have a 15" Macbook Pro, which I bought in 2015. I like its large screen. It's good for internet browsing and watching movies. But there is one problem, I'm not enjoying using it. It's heavy. I don't even want to move it from my bedroom to living room. I don't like it sitting on my lap. I don't like carrying it over a weekend trip. I have a huge Bible as well, with a lot of footnotes, but I don't like using it, because it's so hard to flip the pages. So I figured, maybe large is not necessarily better, if you don't even like to use it any more. I also saw people talking about X PRO 2. Which one do you recommend more? I heard X PRO 2 has a slower fps or something, does that make X PRO 2 a slower camera?

Thanks. That's very comforting. I use a Mac by the way.

I'm working in New York.

I never owned a camera but am considering buying one. DSLR is good and has good potential but needs too much investment especially lenses. I looked up mirror-less and X-T2 seems to be the best option but I do have a few questions before I make the purchase. 1. Although I'm new to photography, I do hope my X-T2 still works when I'm more advanced. I heard X-T2 has good colors but is only good with JPG, but not RAW, which is important for post editing, is this true? Forgive me if I sound stupid in my question. I did enough research and watched enough reviews but I may still not know what I am saying. 2 .If I buy X-T2, which lens should I buy? I'm more into shooting people (not wedding). I guess I need something that is good for shooting people but is fine with landscapes occasionally. I am not interested into stocking up lenses like DSLR, otherwise, I'll just buy a full frame DSLR. I'm open to that but only when my options are exhausted. 3. Is X-T2 good for shooting people ? 4. Why should I buy X-T2 when an entry level full frame DSLR costs not significantly more? Please exclude the size as one of the reasons. Thanks, Edmond
