Fujifilm X half: Is it the perfect family camera?

Summary

When Fujifilm announced the Fujifilm X half, the internet was literally divided into two halves. Some people were disappointed that it offered limited features for its high price, while others were delighted and found it intriguing. In fact, some even predicted that the X half would sell out quickly. As someone who used Fujifilm cameras for a decade, starting with a X-T1 and then moving on to the X100F, X-H1, X-T30, and X100V, and finally switching to a Leica M11, I have some thoughts about the X series. First and foremost, I purchased one as soon as it was released. This was because I belonged to the group that knew what I would get for the money.So why is X half so bad in some areas, but at the same time so good in a lot of ways? And for whom is this camera made?Family MembersThe X half in comparison with my M11My family and I are both big fans of photography. I shoot with a Leica M11, and before that, I used various Fuji cameras. I genuinely love both brands because they create desirable cameras that are a joy to use. However, one thing that the M11 lacks is its ease of use. It’s not a simple point-and-shoot camera, which is understandable. While it doesn’t bother me, it can be quite frustrating for my family. For instance, when I want my wife to take a photo of me, my kids, or other things, she often struggles to use the M11. The camera has manual focus, and I usually shoot in aperture priority. Another recent issue I’ve seen recently is that my two children also want to take photos. They’ve noticed me taking photos frequently and asked why they can’t use my camera. When I use my M11, I usually adjust the aperture to F5.6 or higher and guide them on where to stand (so we're in focus). However, I believe it’s not an appropriate camera for a child. It’s delicate and requires precise adjustments, making it challenging for them to use effectively. This brings me to the next point.The search for a family/kid oriented cameraI started looking around for digital cameras...
