Summary
Camera company Fujifilm is releasing a new addition to its X-series cameras, called the X Half, which features an 18-megapixel half-frame camera with a portrait-oriented sensor.
The camera has a fixed 32mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens and resembles a traditional disposable camera, but has proper glass autofocusing lenses with aspherical corrections.
The X Half is geared towards younger customers who like vintage film aesthetics, featuring a secondary screen exclusively for picking film simulations and solely producing JPG images.
The camera, which costs $849.99, also includes a dedicated smartphone app that allows users to create two-up diptyches, with the option of selecting two videos or one video and one picture.
The app features a Film Camera Mode that produces a contact sheet using the next 36, 54, or 72 images, with the digital film strip branded with the film simulation used.
Filters such as light leak effects, expired film looks, and ‘90s-era stamp imprints can also be added.
