The Fujifilm X Half: A Blend of Film Charm and Digital Convenience

As mobile cameras continue to advance in technology, Fujifilm South Africa is taking a unique approach by merging the charm of film photography with digital innovation in the Fujifilm X Half (X-HF1) compact camera.

The X Half is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring physical elements like a frame advance lever and an optical viewfinder, as well as digital enhancements such as Film Camera Mode.

Notable Feature

One standout feature of the X Half is its departure from traditional horizontal aspect ratios, opting instead for a vertical 3:4 framing. Both images and videos are captured vertically, reflected in the orientation of the optical viewfinder and LCD display.

This design harkens back to classic half-frame cameras, which could capture two images per frame by shooting at half the size of 35mm film.

Who Is It For?

With no electric or hybrid viewfinder, lack of stabilization, and inability to shoot RAW photos, the X Half may seem limited. However, it is targeted at film photographers seeking the convenience of digital storage on an SD card. It offers a modern take on film photography, reminiscent of the Pentax 17.

The X Half aims to provide a stripped-down, analog-meets-digital experience, injecting fun back into photography.

Memories Captured

Compact and lightweight, the X Half is designed for on-the-go photography, encouraging users to capture memories effortlessly. While smartphones also offer portability, this camera is intended for quick, spontaneous shots that evoke nostalgia and joy.

Perfect for travel, the X Half’s compact 240g body exudes the charm of classic rangefinder cameras.

Availability and Pricing

The Fujifilm X Half brings a digital evolution to the unique shooting experience of half-frame film cameras. It is set to launch in South Africa in June 2025, priced at R14,999.

Embrace the fusion of film nostalgia and digital convenience with the Fujifilm X Half, a camera that promises to make photography fun and memorable once again.
