Re: Good substitute for a film camera

Use a fast film in the XA2 (ISO400 or even better 800).  Just use the centre distance setting unless you’re taking something a long way away, and avoid very close things.   The XA2 was built as a camera for everyone to take on holiday, like an Olympus Trip.  Don’t try and overthink it, it’s not an SLR - fast film will give you a small aperture and bigger depth of field.  (I have an XA3, although I find  the shutter release a little light)
