The XA4 is actually one of my favorite cameras for its simplicity. No autofocus lag. And cover the DX reader and push the film to 1600. I use it for taking photos of friends and family.

Digital is the rational choice without a doubt, but we shoot film because of the romanticism. Photography is often bout the abstraction of daily life, no? Film will do it easier than post-processing some Sony files. And adding grain to digital files seems a bit backwards.
