FUJIFILM X Half Premium Compact Camera - Silver

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.

If you’re looking for the highest quality RAW files, this may not be the camera for you. However, if you want a camera that is genuinely fun and a joy to use, read on. While the body is plastic, it feels surprisingly solid in the hand. It’s small enough to fit in a coat or sweatshirt pocket, making it an excellent everyday carry. It has the look of a professional camera, but it’s clearly designed for everyday photographers rather than pixel peepers. The film simulations are a standout feature. I’ve taken several photos I truly enjoy (especially the black and white) which often require little to no editing. I own a wide range of other cameras, including professional models, and despite that, this is the camera I reach for when I simply want to enjoy photography. Ignore the negative reviews; this camera really does make photography fun.

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.

The Fuji X Half is honestly awful. I wanted a small, creative travel camera with Fuji colors and this thing just doesn’t deliver. The images are mid at best, indoors and outside. Autofocus is slow, hunts constantly, and feels unusable compared to basically any modern camera. The whole camera feels laggy, toy-like, and frustrating to use. It’s tiny, sure, but that’s about the only positive. At $200 it would be a fun novelty. At $650 it’s a bad decision. At MSRP it’s a war crime. I've already returned it.

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.

Expensive. Too expensive. But wow is it fun and what should you pay for fun? It’s a camera that inspires a return to having fun with photography and everything about it supports that philosophy of go have some fun and don’t worry about analysis….of the fun you have. Just shoot. And it is THAT camera. Controls are basic and it’s easy to use. So easy. Duel touch screen is cool and it is responsive. Menu system is easy to navigate. It would be cool to combine a filter with a film simulation. Firmware updates will be a thing I’m sure. Battery life is insanely good. It is easy to handle and some have complained about the screens and the viewfinder and start up time but it isn’t as slow as all that. I personally love the picture quality and am more of a deliberately lo-fi photography enthusiast. I like a little grain and character in my photos. If I wanted a “pro” camera I’d get one. I like this one. It’s the camera you’ll carry and have on ya cause it’s little and light and rad.
