The Fujifilm X half is a quirky, funny little camera that is actually exactly what many of us have been asking for: a digital camera that tugs on the analog heartstrings, combining the usability of the modern age with the fun of times past. The thing is, the X half isn't perfect: there are some things the team would have done differently. Also, for those who enjoyed her article and video from earlier this week , Sarah takes a few minutes to answer some questions about her recent photography excursion to Iraq, too, so you won't want to miss this episode!
