Fujifilm’s X Half is even more whimsical with a $300 price cut

Fujifilm’s X Half digital camera wasn’t designed to replace your main camera, though you’d be forgiven for assuming it was with its ludicrous $850 price. However, the company recently reduced the MSRP to $649.99, and is now knocking an additional $100 off through June 28th. That means you can grab the X Half in its […]

Fujifilm’s X Half digital camera wasn’t designed to replace your main camera, though you’d be forgiven for assuming it was with its ludicrous $850 price. However, the company recently reduced the MSRP to $649.99, and is now knocking an additional $100 off through June 28th. That means you can grab the X Half in its base configuration for around $549 at Amazon , B&H Photo , and Best Buy .

Adorama is also discounting it to the same price and throwing in a free accessory pack, which includes a 64GB SanDisk SD card and a camera case.

Fujifilm X Half digital camera $ 550 $ 650 15 % off $ 550 $550 at Amazon $550 at Best Buy $550 at Adorama (with accessories) The X Half isn’t like most other digital cameras. It’s a feature-light shooter designed to evoke the feel of a half-frame film camera, one that can capture 18-megapixel stills you can style in numerous ways. You can add film simulations, filters, and grain. Digital diptychs are also possible, complete with the option to have the date baked into the photos. In short, it’s incredibly fun, but it lacks features you might be used to in modern cameras, including the ability to take RAW images, a hot shoe for attaching accessories, and an electronic viewfinder.

Its vertical 1-inch sensor and fixed 32mm equivalent f/2.8 lens are capable of capturing great shots, but the pocket-friendly camera was designed with point-and-shoot simplicity in mind. Pavic enjoyed taking “scrappy, quick photos” with it, as did our own Antonio Di Bennedeto, even if he was turned off by the original price.

ElliQ is a surprisingly helpful companion robot for older adults

A week before the ElliQ robot arrived, a neurologist told me we need to rebalance my mom's life. Her Parkinson's disease medication had steadily become less effective over the previous month, and with it, she had slowly stopped doing many of the things crucial to managing the disease - exercising, socializing, and engaging in hobbies.
