Fujifilm has slashed the price of its quirky X Half camera by a whopping $300 to just under £457. This miniaturised marvel, designed to mimic half-frame film cameras and packed with nostalgic filters, now offers a playful alternative for those who want to add a touch of vintage charm to their selfies. It’s not without its limitations; no raw image capabilities or viewfinder here, but it excels in simplicity and fun.

First impressions from tech reviewers like former Verge producer Vjeran Pavic were both positive and bemused. He found joy in the camera's compactness and ease of use, perfect for those impromptu, 'scrappy' shots. Even its limited features seemed to add to its charm.

The X Half’s 1-inch sensor and 32mm equivalent lens produce decent results, but it’s the quirky film simulations, filters and grain that make it a standout. It’s like owning a miniaturised film camera, complete with digital quirks. Adorama even throws in an accessory pack for a sweet deal.

This price cut makes the X Half not only more accessible but also more tempting to those who might have been deterred by its initial hefty price tag. For all you nostalgic shutterbugs out there, it’s time to embrace your inner amateur photographer and snap away!
