Fujifilm’s X Half is even more whimsical with a $300 price cut
富士胶片 X Half 相机降价 300 美元，趣味性更上一层楼
Now through June 28th, you can get the analog-simulating digital camera for $549.99. 即日起至 6 月 28 日，你可以以 549.99 美元的价格入手这款模拟胶片质感的数码相机。
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. 富士胶片 X Half 数码相机并非旨在取代你的主力相机，尽管它最初 850 美元的荒谬定价可能会让你产生这种误解。然而，该公司最近将建议零售价下调至 649.99 美元，并且在 6 月 28 日之前还会额外优惠 100 美元。这意味着你可以在亚马逊、B&H Photo 和百思买（Best Buy）以约 549 美元的价格买到基础配置的 X Half。Adorama 也提供了同样的折扣，并附赠一个包含 64GB SanDisk SD 卡和相机包的免费配件包。
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. X Half 与大多数数码相机不同。它是一款功能精简的拍摄设备，旨在唤起半格胶片相机的使用感，能够拍摄 1800 万像素的照片，并支持多种风格化处理。你可以添加胶片模拟、滤镜和颗粒感。它还支持数字双联画（diptychs）拍摄，并可选择将日期嵌入照片中。简而言之，它非常有趣，但缺乏你在现代相机中可能习惯使用的功能，例如拍摄 RAW 格式照片的能力、用于连接配件的热靴以及电子取景器。
When we published our hands-on impressions last year, former Verge supervising producer Vjeran Pavic called the X Half both whimsical and refreshing. 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. 去年我们发布上手体验时，前《The Verge》监制 Vjeran Pavic 称 X Half 既异想天开又令人耳目一新。它配备的垂直 1 英寸传感器和等效 32mm f/2.8 定焦镜头能够捕捉到出色的画面，但这款便携相机的设计初衷是追求“傻瓜式”拍摄的简洁性。Pavic 很享受用它拍摄“随性、快速的照片”，我们的同事 Antonio Di Bennedeto 也有同感，尽管他最初被其高昂的价格劝退了。
