So what exactly did you contribute to the discussion regarding the Pixii camera?

Scroll up. If you can manage that.

Allow me to write this slowly, since apparently you can't read fast:

S C R O L L  U P to see what I wrote previously on the topic under discussion.

Then, kindly be quiet.

Viv, are you by any chance a Pixii ambassador or in some other way affiliated to the company?

I am not.

If you had taken the trouble to read my comments you would have learned that, when I asked Pixii if dioptric viewfinder adjustment was possible, the company president replied that "he would nor sell to people like me".

So much for customer relations.

The concept is interesting it might even be ahead of Leica with regard to a future M could look like. No mechanical shutter and fast readout FF sensor.

See what's missing from this equation? Yep, exactly - and in more ways than one.
I understand stacked sensors could pose a challenge regarding size, heat and power draw. But maybe a non-stacked sensor from the A7SIII / Sony ZV-E1 would have made it really desirable even at a higher price. (Although it seems that this is not a sensor that we'll see in a non-Sony camera any time soon and some may think 12MP would be too low for stills anyway).

As-is, I would rather just try and source an M10 instead, it is a much more usable camera.
It seems unclear to me if they are committed to fit in bigger or/and faster sensors in the future, or just keep as-is because is already fully designed as a non-stacked sensor crop sensor camera and it would not be profitable otherwise.

I’d like to know some things not available on the website (at least, I can’t find answers):

 

Estimated battery life, -website only states they doubled the life of the previous model- images per charge. 
 

Minimum rangefinder focusing distance. 
 

Eye-relief -ie how does it compare to the M10/M11 when shooting wider than 50mm with glasses. Rangefinders and eyeglasses, a pipe dream, but one can be hopeful.


The website states that a preview image is sent to your phone via Bluetooth. Can it also wirelessly transfer full-size DNG’s? Can images be transferred to smartphones/tablets via cable?

Leica have been making and selling cameras for over 100 years. I had only had my Epson RD-1s (from new) for about three years when they discontinued it and spares were no longer available. Pixxi is an expensive, niche product being made in small numbers by a small independent in a tight economic climate (a war in Europe and slow growth, borderline recession). I admire your confidence that it will be supported for decades to come.

In any case, I would happily buy one if it was either full frame, or quite a bit cheaper. The M240 is both cheaper and full frame.

something is cooking: is it going to be the full frame Pixii?

Leica finally have competition in their digital but traditional niche. Cost seems about half of Leica's current (IMO) both overspecified and overpriced offering. Interesting.

It's nice to see a small independent company give this market a go. I'll wait for it to be tested and reviewed but it looks very promising and a consideration ahead of the m11p release. 5k in the EU when you add taxes is pretty steep for the first round though, it's not far off a used m11.

4K (plus taxes?) for an electronic shutter camera that won't ever let you use flash = 🗑️

I've never used a flash with an M camera, so no big deal for me.

A great idea and I really like the style of the camera, really a very cool idea. I wish them luck to sell a lot of the cameras but for 100% it is not mine. For sure it is a lot of money and nobody can guarantee that the company is still on the market when I have problems with the camera in some years.
