Anyone who knows me knows that my Fujifilm X100VI is pretty much glued to my hand, so it’s incredibly rare that a phone tempts me to leave my trusty compact at home. Yet the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has been doing just that since it landed on my doorstep a few months ago. Its headline act is a compact camera-rivaling 50MP 1-inch main sensor behind a Leica-designed Summilux 23mm equivalent lens.

The Ricoh GR IV is officially "in development", with Ricoh teasing a spec list for the new model alongside a couple of images. And there is a lot to love. The lens is getting a redesign, but still keeping the popular 28mm focal length and f/2.8 aperture. There is 5-axis in-body image stabilization, up from 3-axis on the Ricoh GR III, and the internal storage (which more cameras really should have) has been bumped up to 53GB from 2GB.

The brand new Fujifilm X Half has been announced, shrinking the cult-favorite Fujifilm X100VI into a palm-sized digital homage to half-frame film cameras. Weighing only 240g, the retro-styled body keeps the rangefinder aesthetic but targets photographers who value charm over spec-sheet bragging rights. Inside is a back-illuminated 1-inch sensor that’s been rotated 90° and cropped to a 3:4 ratio, delivering vertically-oriented 17.7MP files ready for social media.

If you liked the Pentax 17 half-frame film camera from last year, but are turned off by the hassle and expense of film, then Fujifilm might just have a slightly bonkers solution for you. Called the Fujifilm X Half, this is Fujifilm’s take on a half-frame film camera – but in digital form. Styled after Fujifilm’s incredibly popular X100VI, the X Half shrinks that classic rangefinder style down into a palm-sized body that weighs just 240g.

If you are just looking to take the best quality images, Fujifilm has a ton of those cameras. Instead, the X Half is designed for those just having fun with photography, and after spending some time with the Fujifilm X half, I can confirm – mission accomplished. The tiny pocket-sized camera is styled with all the class of the X100VI, and brings some really unique features like 2-in-1 diptychs and a dedicated 'film camera mode'.

I love manual controls, so naturally, I really wanted to love the Leica Lux grip with it’s tactile buttons and dial and beautifully built metal body – however it's awkward shape, weak MagSafe, extravagant cost, and limited compatibility outside of the Leica Lux iPhone app stop this being a compelling grip for anyone but the most devoted of Leica fans.
