Reasons for not liking the XA2 -
The shutter release - rarely worked first time and there is no feedback on it so I never ever knew when it was going to take a picture. It may have been a dodgy camera but I did have 2 different ones.
Zone focusing - although I found leaving it in the middle (mostly by accident) was usually ok for most shots.
Lack of control - would like to be able to change the aperture and focus correctly
When I got a good shot out of it, it was great, but that didn't happen very often.
