Without an EVF, the X-A7's touchscreen becomes extra important because it doubles as the camera’s viewfinder. It's much closer to the look and feel you'd get from a modern smartphone. It has a large fully-articulating touchscreen interface for beginners that is bright and 1/2 inch larger than the screens found on other cameras in this class. This entry-level APS-C camera is a low-priced option with a 24 Megapixel sensor and a pretty impressive hybrid autofocus system.

If it's the viewfinder you need, Fujifilm's own X-T200 adds one to an otherwise similar spec at a $100 premium over the X-A7. The Sony offers a viewfinder and simpler/more powerful autofocus for around $150 more.
