Hi
First off I'm a total newbie when it comes to photography and still very much learning about the technical aspects of it all so sorry for lowering the tone a bit as I know there are some really knowledgeable people round here.
I'm debating whether to get a proper camera (trying to decide between a fuji X-T10 and a rx-100 mk3) as I really enjoy snapping away with my phone when out and about in the countryside but need to understand exactly what benefits I'll gain aside from general IQ improvements.
One thing I'm sort of intrigued by is RAW files and what it let's you tweak. For example I took a shot over Christmas which I quite like but the sun got way overexposed (I think that's the right word?).
Would taking that photo in RAW allow me to tone down the sun so it looked more natural?
I don't want to get into the mindset of "fixing everything in post production" but just curious as to what all this new (to me) tech can do.
