I used nothing but an XA on a two week trip to Chiapas, Mexico and I
had no problems at all with the camera. This was the first time I'd
used this particular camera in a long while and I put about 11 rolls
of 36 exposure film through it. Performed like a champ. If your
advance is stiff enough to tear the sprocket holes, I think there is
something amiss with the camera or the particular roll of film. Check
that the rewind knob turns freely with no film loaded. Maybe it was
binding?
