FujiFilm X half frame camera

[Cmaier]

It’s not for me, but it’s pretty wild that a major camera company is releasing this thing:

Fujifilm's new camera is silly and fun, but is it just a joke?

The X half is a JPEG-only compact camera that commits hard to mimicking a half-frame film camera. Does this make it charming and fun or completely ridiculous?

18MP 1" Sensor, 3:4 jpeg only for $849? Really must be a niche thing.

yep. it has a “film camera mode” where you tell it how big the “roll” is, and it turns off the back screen preview, and you don’t see the results until you’re done with the roll. You even have to use the film advance lever. No RAW, either.
