Well, it was frustrating for me because of the limitations. Unless you
appreciate the limitations and are bothered by them, the XAs are nice pocket
cameras.
My wife Liz, on the other hand, is no photographer, doesn't really want
to be one (I have more cameras than computers, and LOTS of computers --
getting into either would would be pretty easy for her, my kids, even a
friendly neighbor) and pretty much stays away from cameras as much as
possible. She does need them for work from time to time, but makes me put
the film in. She does, these days, use the OM-77 and the Canon Powershot
350, too.
