Fujifilm X Half: A New Compact Camera

Fujifilm X Half: A New Compact Camera

Fujifilm is set to release a new camera called the X Half in late June. This compact camera features an 18-megapixel "half-frame" sensor and has a portrait-oriented design with a viewfinder.

Key Features

  • Lens:

    • Fixed 32mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens for a wide-angle perspective, ideal for casual snapshot photography.
  • Sensor:

    • Fujifilm’s definition of "half-frame" differs from traditional half-frame cameras. The X Half features a 1-inch-type sensor that captures images with a unique aesthetic, producing only JPGs rather than RAW photos.
  • User Interface:

    • Two small screens and a vertical-oriented viewfinder provide easy access to information and settings.
    • One screen is dedicated solely for film simulations, allowing users to experiment with different looks and styles.
  • Portability:

    • Weighing just over eight ounces (240g), the X Half is designed for on-the-go photography, similar to disposable cameras. However, it features a proper glass autofocusing lens with aspherical corrections, unlike the plastic lenses without autofocus found in disposable cameras.
  • Video Capabilities:

    • The camera can shoot basic video at up to 1080p resolution. However, details about connectivity options were not provided.

Conclusion

The Fujifilm X Half aims to create a more authentic film experience, combining modern technology with a nostalgic design. With its compact size and user-friendly features, it is poised to appeal to both casual photographers and enthusiasts alike.
