The Yashica Electro is a tank, but it consistently surprises me with great images and I never regret taking it out.
I think it's a great option as it's easy to get to grips with, takes great photos and isn't too expensive. The XA is great but it's a fiddle, the rangefinder window is dim and even with my less than massive hands, it can be difficult to shoot with. I love mine, and the control you get with such a small camera is never really matched at the same size by anything else but I just think the Electro is a better choice for a first foray into rangefinder cameras.
