I guess I should add....for $550, what do you expect? That's high end point and shoot pricing territory and this would give far, far better image quality than any point and shoot. Once we start debating all these features it needs to have, we have to honestly move on to looking at the higher priced full featured models. I would never expect too much from a camera that costs $550 WITH a descent lens. You may as well save a little more and buy an X-T1 or some other brand/model that's in the higher categories. The X-A2 isn't meant to be too much more than a small camera with great image quality.

You can get a Sony a6000 for $550 right now, and if you'd ordered before Xmas, you could have got it with the lens. that camera inexplicably doesn't offer a touch screen either, but it is certainly a higher end camera at a similar price point.

I am currently all in with Fuji. Started with the XA1 as a complement, then tried the XT1and sold my Nikon gear and now have picked up a used x100s as well.  I love the files, and I want to see this company succeed for purely selfish reasons.  Not having a touch screen is not going to help attract new users.  Plus, I was surprised at how much I used it on the EPL5.
