The XA's are very useful tools. You can whip one out and shoot very quickly. And a good shot out of focus a bit is better than a bad shot in focus. ;o)

I recently has visisted "Bao Vinh ancient town" in Hue City, a brief text from this link: Bao Vinh Ancient Town - A Nostalgic Space in Hue City

Bao Vinh Ancient Town was a bustling trading port in Central Vietnam 200 years ago, marking a golden age of the Hue ancient capital. This place is currently highlighted with mossy roofed houses that have endured ups and downs in history among the modern houses. Bao Vinh Ancient Town is located outside the Hue Royal Citadel, next to the poetic Huong River. During the 17th and 19th century, the Quarter was the most famous and bustling trading port in Dang Trong area. It used to welcome many Chinese merchant ships for trade. Today, this ancient quarter still exists with little changes and its nostalgic and historic charm intact. The area is filled with wooden houses featuring traditional low tiled roofs, as well as some two-story houses with modern 20th-century architecture. Located on the peaceful banks of the Perfume River, it is now a quiet place, preserving the memories of its vibrant trading past.

thank you; and yes, the XA is serving me well, I've been shooting quite productively.
sometimes, buying new gear is a good way to re-activate photography motivation.
