Meet the Fujifilm X-Half – Fujifilm’s Upcoming Digital Half Frame Camera

When I first shared rumors about a 1″ inch sensor Fujifilm half frame camera coming, plenty of readers attacked me saying I mislead people by calling it a half frame camera.

The logic: it’s just a regular 1″ sensor, so it is not a proper half frame camera.

But…

… if the fact that it has a vertical LCD

… and the fact that it is intended to mainly create diptych images

… is not enough

… then here is another hint…

… the name of the camera will be Fujifilm X-Half.

I guess Fujifilm won’t call it “X-Half” because it is half as big as a Fujifilm GFX100RF.

My humble guess is that it will carry the name “X-Half” because Fujifilm will market it as a half frame camera. And if we look at how it works, then this might even make sense.
