Re: new XA2: what good is a selfie screen with no touchscreen.

The X-A2 should have addressed the following issues with the X-A1, which I am currently using:

1. Autofocus is terrible in bad light

2. Screen has really bad lag

3. Camera is not responsive

4. Video is poor

5. No Wifi control

6. No touchscreen.  Would be useful for focus selection

7. Control dial too close to shutter button

8. IBIS would be great, but we can only dream

Overall the X-A1 feels like a first generation micro four thirds camera.  There is so much room for improvement, but I don't see the point of releasing the X-A1.
