After joining this forum a few years ago, I got hit by GAS... hard. I never seem to be happy with the RF I have. More than a year ago, I got an XA2 for about $20. It's got a sharp lens and comes with me most everywhere. When the time comes to sell some gear to make way for my latest GAS attack, the XA2 doesn't get sold because it's so cheap. It's just not worth it.

So, I end up shooting more with the XA2 because besides my DSLR, it's the only metered 35mm camera I've got until the next GAS item arrives in the mail. The XA2 has never let me down (knocking on wood) and I love the images it produces.

Here's some recent pics:

Yep, I had an XA2 on loan for a while and it went with me everywhere. Great little cameras. And the first photo of yours is stunning!
 
That first shot is fantastic. My XA2 is almost always in my jacket pocket. Just slide it open and it's ready to go. I just need to find a belt case for it so I can keep in handy in warmer weather, too.
 
I am working on my first roll in my XA2 now. I take it with me to work everyday. Fits right in the glove compartment or my pocket.
 
My wife's XA-2 has been gathering dust ever since she got a small digicam. Does anyone want it? PM me if interested.
