The XA is great for its size and the control available for a camera of that size. It is slow as a result of how fiddly it is though.
The XA2 is great because it is equally small, less fiddly due to the simpler controls but occasionally frustrating as the focus zones take a bit of getting used to.
The Mju II is fast, simple and reliable. Very pocketable too. It also seems to be one of the much more robust point and shoot cameras I've used. All the XA and fixed lens Mjus have a clamshell design which really helps protect the lens.
My Yashica T4 has marginally superior glass (although a stop slower than the Mju II) but it feels so fragile in comparison. They are also more expensive than the Mju or XA. I would say that the autofocus and metering on the T4 are slightly better than the Mju though.
I know noone is asking these questions but I thought I'd splurge my opinionz.
Snoops, that shot seems pretty sharp! If only it'd been on 160!
