If I wanted to take selfies with my X-A1, I'd simply set the self timer, hold the camera at arm's length and take the shot. The 16mm lens would ensure I'd get what I wanted in the frame.

And then you'd have wicked distortion from using a wide angle. What the screen will let you do is set the camera on something, dial it to 35mm or so and take a much nicer photo.
