That's like saying a frog is a kind of horse. The *ist-d is an APS sensor camera. It's not half frame 35mm. In fact, it's not even film, so there's no point in discussing it in those terms. . But as far as I'm concerned. half frame is only relevant in the world of film. A half frame camera is valuable in that its frames are the same format as movie film. That means they can be easily transfered to video on professional equipment. I can't think of any other reason why one might want one.
