FujifilmX Half Premium Compact Camera - Black

Honestly a bit expensive in my opinion but its a very fun & easy camera to use. This is NOT for professional photography purposes. This is made to capture life’s brightest, funniest moments & all the good times when hanging out with friends & family. In my opinion, this is awesome for traveling. I bought this for my wife since I shoot with my Sony A6700 & she has a blast using this. This camera only shoots JPEG files. Will not shoot RAW. 64GB SD Card is more than enough for this camera as it only has a 18MP Sensor. All though its software is a bit laggy, it is very simple to use & makes it even more fun to use. The X-Half app is also simple to use. If all you want to do is capture life’s little moments, great memories & have film like images to story tell, then this is the camera for you. (Great for scrap booking as well). If you want to shoot professionally, get an APS-C or Full Frame Camera & edit your images on your computer. Overall, 5 Stars for my wife & I. Hope this helps.

I’ve been into photography for years and recently picked up the Fujifilm X-Half in silver—honestly, it’s one of the best camera purchases I’ve made in a long time. I wanted something small enough to take everywhere but still capable of producing high-quality images, and this camera fits that need perfectly.Setting it up was quick and straightforward. Fujifilm’s menus are easy to navigate, and the physical dials make changing settings feel intuitive and tactile. I was out shooting within minutes of unboxing it. Despite its compact size, the X-Half feels solid in the hand and looks beautiful in silver—it has that classic Fuji style that makes you want to carry it around.What really makes this camera shine is the image quality. The photos are sharp and vibrant, with great dynamic range, especially for such a compact form. But what takes it to the next level is the film simulation mode. Being able to switch between different film looks—like Classic Chrome, Acros, or Velvia—adds a ton of creative flexibility. The JPEGs straight out of camera often don’t need any editing, which is a huge plus when traveling or shooting on the go. I’ve also started experimenting with custom film recipes, and it’s a lot of fun dialing in a look that matches the mood of the moment.I mainly got the X-Half for travel and pocket-carry, and it’s been fantastic in that role. It slips easily into a coat pocket or small bag without weighing me down, and it’s discreet enough that I feel comfortable using it in public without drawing attention. Whether I’m walking through a city, out on a hike, or just hanging out with friends, it’s always ready to go. The portability alone makes it worth it—but the fact that it takes such beautiful images makes it a camera I truly enjoy using.If you’re looking for a camera that’s small, powerful, and just plain fun to shoot with, the Fujifilm X-Half is a winner.

I started dabbling in photography when I was 12. I had an old Nikon fm10 and for years I loved that camera. I haven't used film in a very very long time but this is a fun way to relive that nostalgia. I love all of the settings as well as "film mode" which is just a really fun blast from the past. I'm still learning all of the modes and settings and I love how compact it is. If you're a camera fan this is a fun piece to add to any collection.

Interesting camera but not interesting enough to justify the price.The camera build quality is nice but the main build material is plastic and it feels like plastic. This is made very noticeable with the film advancement lever which is a shame for the price.The camera only outputs JPEGs which is fine but the film recipes aren't adjustable which is a shame for the price.The menu navigation isn't slow but it definitely shows that a cheaper processor was used which is a shame for the price.The built-in flash is only an LED which is a shame for the price.

Love, love, love this camera…. Forget the negative reviews that were posted before the final release, this camera brings back extra fun into photography. The system of shooting film and not knowing if you got the shot, then developing the film on you device, I use an iPad Pro… and watching it go from a proof sheet of negatives to positives in minutes blows me away.Look, it’s not a 100F or newer and it’s pretty much bare bones but darn it…. It’s a BLAST!!Make sure you use the film advance lever when shooting in film mode!.. I have shot about 20 rolls of “film” so far and it’s great, the digital images are crisp as well.Defensively worth the bucks!

I feel as if Fuji played a practical joke on its customers. This is a terrible camera. The film feature is great but the processing feature, where Fuji thought it was cute, turns out to be an annoyance that I can’t get over it. The camera lags. The flash is so terrible, Fuji would be better off just leaving the flash out of the camera. I wanted a fun camera, and where I still use film cameras for fun, I thought this would be a great experience, it’s nothing like film.The menus and the screens of the camera are poorly designed. This camera is going back.

This camera can definetely get some clean shots but most of the film simulations and effects aren’t that viable or have much of a usecase. Feels different color than other models. And you can adjust custom white balance Kelvin but no shift makes no sense to me. While the camera is very light and compact, it doesn’t justify the price at all.

You dont have to worry about what recipe and adjust the settings. It’s simple and fun. That’s all that matters.
