It’s not every day you see deals on Fujifilm cameras, and it’s even rarer to see ‘freebies’ like the one that Adorama is currently offering. Right now, you can actually claim a free Fujifilm X-Half camera when you buy a Fujifilm X-T5 bundle for $2,399 (was $2,499).
As originally reported by DPReview, this freebie is a little bizarre in the fact that it’s only available with a black X-T5 and 16-80mm kit combination. Using any other color/lens combination, or body only, means you can’t claim the X-Half.

I suspect that some photographers will baulk at this bundle, but I think it’s one of the best Fujifilm deals I’ve seen in a long time. There’s a small $100 price cut on the X-T5 right now, and the X-Half is still worth $649 bought new.
Yes, the X-Half is more of a novelty, but I actually think it’s a great accompaniment to the X-T5. The X-T5 is perfect for ‘serious’ work, while the X-Half is more of a fun point-and-shoot that enables you to really stretch your legs creatively. You still get access to Fuji’s excellent film simulations, as well as a unique ‘film roll’ mode and a tool for composing side-by-side diptychs. It’s a cool and quirky option for a lightweight everyday camera, for sure.
And, the X-T5, of course, is a great choice by itself if you need a powerful hybrid camera that can handle both stills and video. Our Fujifilm X-T5 review showcases what the camera’s 40.2MP APS-C sensor is capable of, with an in-depth overview of performance and features. Scoring an impressive four and a half stars out of five, the X-T5 is still a great choice – even three years after its initial release.
