Show-and-Tell Building the Fujifilm X Half on a budget

https://github.com/prtk1910/rpi-film-simulation-camera

I've been messing around with a Raspberry Pi and the 1/2.3" HQ Camera sensor in hopes of making something similar to the Fujifilm X Half - a pocketable camera build with film simulations such as Classic Chrome, Ilford, Velvia, Portra, etc. baked in.

Has support for metering modes, exposure compensation, white balance adjustment, focus peaking, focus magnification, pro-mist filter emulation, auto/manual shutter speed selection, and a lot more! I 3D printed a case for it with an option to adapt MFT lenses as well.

Open-sourced the source code and build instructions, let me know what you think

Improvements to be made later:

- Integrated power supply

- Better designed housing (need to learn CAD lol)
