Niche Digital Camera Featuring a Square Sensor
A user discussing a new camera (Fujifilm X Half) expressed a clear preference for a different sensor format: "I'd love a square sensor for the freedom to crop in any direction, making the most of the lens’s image circle, and the camera’s design should match the sensor’s aspect ratio."
This suggests a potential product opportunity:
Product Suggestion: A digital camera designed around a square image sensor.
Expected Benefits: This product would cater to a niche segment of photographers (creative, artistic, or those with specific compositional needs) by offering:
- Maximum Cropping Flexibility: A square sensor lets users crop to any traditional aspect ratio (e.g., 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, or even vertical formats) after taking the shot, with minimal loss of pixels compared to starting with a rectangular sensor, especially when the final orientation isn't known at the time of shooting.
- Optimal Lens Image Circle Utilization: It makes the most efficient use of the image circle projected by the lens, ensuring no part of the lens's coverage is wasted by a pre-determined rectangular sensor shape.
- Unique Compositional Possibilities: The square format itself encourages a different approach to composition, favored by some for its balance and distinctive aesthetic.
- Potentially Distinctive Camera Design: The camera body's dimensions could be designed to reflect the square sensor, leading to a unique ergonomic and aesthetic appeal.
This product would serve photographers looking for a tool that breaks from conventional rectangular sensor constraints, providing enhanced creative freedom and image quality benefits related to lens usage.

Fujifilm X Half hands-on: when flaws become features

That's why it should be an *option*. It makes sense for a digital camera, which shoots RAW from the sensor, to allow the option of saving that RAW image.

This Fuji camera isn't half frame though, it has a 1" sensor that's about 3x smaller than half frame. They've been very careful not to actually say "half frame" on their site.

It’s a no edit camera. I agree there’s nothing wrong with going vertical for default portraits. It’s not for everyone, it’s really a niche camera. My biggest beef is the price. Yikes for some

I like half frame, I enjoy my Pentax 17 but Fujifilm is asking for too much.

“it can’t even take RAW photos. It’s very easy to look at that list of missing features “
I’m going to pass on that. Missing RAW is an absolute idiot decision.

The camera on your phone isn’t geared towards the majority of consumers yet, probably, 90% of all phones can still take RAW.
Not to mention your phone has far better computational photograp

I’d probably have fun with it too if someone gave me one and I didn’t have to drop $800.

That's why it should be an *option*. It makes sense for a digital camera, which shoots RAW from the sensor, to allow the option of saving that RAW image.
You can still have the image process

Fucking hell.
With GST we'll be unlikely to get much change out of NZ$1700, if any
This is a throwaway item with a premium price tag, itll be a paperweight within 5 years.

Fuji should have partnered with fisher price to design this toy camera.
u/CrispenedLover
It could do both though. I've had bargain digicams than can do both
u/JBN2337C
My G9XII is identical to the Fuji when set to the same focal length (same sensor size, same aperture.) It doesn’t have film simulations, but it zooms (not a fixed lens) is smaller, lighter, h

No way in hell I'd ever buy a camera that has a vertical sensor.

I like “youtubers” because most of them are freaking potatoes!

Sometimes you just want pictures that look good coming out of the camera. Not everyone has a color correction workflow for their photography hobby. It took me years before I switched to shoot
u/xaphod2
I want it but at half the price
u/GolemancerVekk
I don't think you understand how crazy the $850 price is. You can get some amazing cameras for that money.
You can get a Sony ZV-1F for half the price.
You can get tons of older mirrorless
u/Teamore
But youtubers say it's fun!
u/Moptop32
You can get a Sony A6000 and a Sigma 18-50 for not much more even

Seems like a neat toy, but at $850 USD?
