- The new leaks have given us our first look at the ‘Half’ of Fujifilm
- The half -frame compact camera would be the first time for Fujifilm
- Apparently combine half -frame shots with a retro design
Fujifilm has never followed exactly the flock, but even for its standards, the company’s next compact camera will be eccentric, if new rumors are created about the so -called ‘half X’.
Fuji Rumors recently shared what he states that it is the first filtered image of the camera, and now he has followed it with a new publication that gives him a name. It seems that half X will be a compact camera with a 1 -inch sensor that rivals the many half -frame cameras that have become popular among young Pargos in recent years.
What is half a frame? As Pentax 17 and Kodak Ektar H35 show, the format that is traditionally found in 35 mm movie cameras, sees shots taken in vertical format, and effectively gives you twice as many photos of a movie. The twist X, according to rumors, is that it will be digital and, potentially, a little more desirable than those two cameras.

Another reason why half painting cameras are popular is because they easily allow you to create images of ‘Dipticos’, or two frames from side to side. This allows you to juxtapose two different angles on the same topic, which is a very friendly trick for social networks. To help him compose these shots, Fuji Rumores states that half X will have a vertical LCD screen in his rear panel.
Like the other great hits of Fujifilm, in particular the Fujifilm X100VI, half X will also combine the digital convenience with the charm similar to the film. The filtered specifications include an optical viewfinder (which must be maintained under the low price, compared to an EVF), a retro design, similar to Leica and some manual controls, including an exposure compensation dial. Apparently, it will also have a fixed lens with an opening F/2.4.
Unfortunately, there is still no rumored launch date for half X. But with increasing speculation, it seems possible that Fujifilm can launch it in time for summer seasons in the United States and the United Kingdom, assuming that complications related to the rate do not derail it.
ANALYSIS: A fun idea, if not by Fuji Hardcore’s faithful
With many Fujifilm fans waiting patiently ‘serious’ cameras, like an X-Pro 4, these rumors of half X are probably not what many have been waiting for, but I am happy to see something new on the horizon.
While the idea of a digital frame camera seems strange on paper, after all, you do not need to worry about saving movie costs with digital, half X of the X-Half could definitely find a audience among those who want a retro partner that is different from their smartphones, but easier to use than the best movie cameras.
In that sense, it is likely to have more in common with the Instit series of Fujifilm than the Pricer Pro models such as the GFX100RF. If it is the next launch of Fujifilm, you could see it as the perfect side for the latter, which is an average format power that costs $ 4,899 / £ 4.699 / AU $ 8,799. Half X could be, however, a compact that serves a new and younger audience that wants something with a little more substance than an instx.
That can leave Fuji fans to feel between those two ends that feel a bit not loved, but it is rumored that a Fujifilm X-E5 is on its way in 2025. For now, it seems that Fujifilm is doing what originally brought it a great success in the first days of the mirrorless cameras, jumping on new photographic trends with its own unique turn.
