I saw a bustling lunchtime crowd here at Los Tacos today, but now, after hours, it’s all quiet as they’re doing the nightly cleanup. I didn’t eat there, and given that I live in Austin, Texas, I was dubious of what NYC can offer taco-wise. But you never know. Perhaps next time I’m in the Big Apple, I’ll give it a try.

This grainy picture may look similar to the previous Camp Snap pictures, but it was taken with a different camera. The grainy effect was done in-camera, unlike the Camp Snap, where I applied it in post-production.

However, the biggest difference is that this camera costs over 12 times as much as the $69 Camp Snap. At $850, I knew the Fujifilm X Half was overpriced. I chalked it up to the tariffs, but I pre-ordered it anyway on the day it was announced.

I saw the camera in Japan, as I talked about on my Substack. So I got to play with the camera before it was released in the U.S., but after I had pre-ordered it. Not surprisingly, for $850, you get more features than a Camp Snap. It’s still made of plastic, but at a higher quality, and it looks very cute. It has a rear LCD screen and innovative controls to change the film simulation setting. It also has the all-important exposure compensation, which ensures I don’t blow out the highlights.
