@anna @mavica_again a couple of thoughts:
- all new cameras are expensive now, between inflation, tariffs, and the push upmarket
- griii is awesome but has been backordered and is about to be retired. no idea when it'll be actually available
- i'd gladly take a type-1 sensor over any cameraphone, and it looks like the jpegs are really nice (unlike the overprocessed images from my phone)
- it's been a fantastic year for weird cameras and im living for it
@mavica_again @anna depends on what point and shoot you have in your drawer haha. if you've got one of their awful low effort finepix models then the xhalf will be a wayyyy nicer experience. processing and sensor tech have improved since then, even if we're not seeing huge gains like between 2000 and 2012.
