Fujifilm’s unusual X Half elicited a lot of feelings from photographers when it came out earlier this year — from “That looks like so much fun,” to “Wait, it costs how much?“ Its $849.95 list price felt way too high for what is, by all accounts, a fun, unserious little point-and-shoot. But its $649 sale price? Much easier to stomach.

The X Half comes with a 1-inch sensor, a fixed 32mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens, and a whole lot of nostalgia-inducing features, designed to make it feel like you’re shooting with an old-school analogue camera. There are, of course, vintage film simulations, but it goes beyond that with a mode that even requires you to manually “advance” the roll between shots. It’s pretty dang charming.
