Creative, Lifestyle And Travel Photography With A Film-Like Experience — X-Half (2025): The X-Half isn't trying to compete on specs — it's a creative, lifestyle-first camera that recreates the fun and constraints of half-frame film photography in a digital body. For photographers who want a fun second camera for personal projects, travel diaries, or simply shooting without overthinking, it's a genuinely enjoyable and unique product.
Street, Travel & Compact Everyday Shooting — X100T (2014): A polished step between X100S and X100F — the electronic rangefinder OVF mode was unique, and 16MP X-Trans delivers beautiful files at an accessible used price.
