>>3393528>So why use a point and shoot over a real rangefinder or something?Because I'm not taking my rangefinder out when I'm drinking with friends. P&S's are great for the size, weight and offer flash without additional real estate (yis I know the A11 and A16 flash makes the XA bigger shh).
>Plus the electronics will eventually die and you’ll be left having to get a new camera.This is true I've gone through a plethora of P&S's but desu I've only bought them for cheap in pretty rough conditions. The only one I've used immensely that hasn't died on me is my XA3 and I got it in mint condition for around $80.
