It was for cycling that I originally bought my XA, but like the mju-II, it
has a single point attachment for the neck cord, and unless the camera was
firmly tucked into a pocket, while riding it swung about and twirled around
like a demented ballerina. I later bought a Minox 35GL with its e.r.case
just so that I could have a lightweight camera with the necessary TWO neck
attachment points. The Minox has a cable release socket too - the XA set an
unwelcome trend by dropping that feature.
