Fujifilm X Half hands-on: whimsical, refreshing, and simply fun
1 min read
Summary
The Fujifilm X Half is an $850 camera with a vertically oriented 1-inch sensor capable of taking 18MP photos but lacks many features of similar cameras, such as an electric or hybrid viewfinder, stabilization, a hot shoe, and the ability to take RAW photos.
It does contain a digital “film advance” lever, though, which powers two features, diptychs, and film mode.
With diptychs, the user cranks the lever to merge two images side-by-side, making it only possible to take one photo at a time.
Film mode locks users out of modern features and moving too quickly, meaning the user is forced to guess their framing and composition.
While the X Half is far from perfect, it nonetheless shapes up to be a brilliant and enjoyable little camera.
