Guess I'll find out just how good the XA is: I'm going to have it as the
only camera with me as I walk around the Minnesota Renaissance Faire this
coming weekend. It's the only camera I own which will work with period
clothing: it's small enough to fit unobtrusively in my pouch. I'll be using
200-speed film outside, hopefully in bright light, so it should have its
best chance to perform.
