Pixii PORN

Was the Pixii design made large enough so that they could later make a full-frame version without much trouble?

Stephen, how does the back and base plate look?

I agree with Huss that the viewfinder window frame is a bit odd, and I would wonder if it would nick-up in a hurry, is it metal? Overall, it looks pretty decent for a first model.

From the initial product shots I was hoping for a Minolta CLE/Leica CL size camera. Especially since it has a small sensor. But this is the same size as an M, and posting a pic of it next to an M doesn't do it any favors. The Leica looks way nicer and a cleaner design. The viewfinder surround on the Pixiii looks like it was grafted on from a different camera.
This maybe one of those few cameras that looks better in silver.

Well, the X-Pro3 you and I like is the same size with the sane size sensor. Also, while the Leica might look nicer ($5000 nicer) it’s not like the Pixii is ugly. Aesthetics are subjective and I actually like it.

But the XP3 is not a Leica alternative per se. It is an AF camera with Fuji X mount lenses. There is no optical RF in it etc.

I was expecting it to be a CL sized camera, just because it sorta looks like one, and the fact it is an M mount etc . But I get that this is misplaced, just my hopeful thinking.

Really? I guess it’s the cheapest (yet still relevant) way to get the dot. To me, it’s also beautiful, but not at a 300% premium.

No, I made that up. But it actually makes sense. I see the Sofort in lots of shops, but I don't see Leicas in lots of shops. And it is pretty, has that badge and is dirt cheap in comparison.

I believe it... I think the Q series does really well too.

yes i think a bit-but lets see after some more photos ... but for 3000 we shouldn't have doubts like those-for 3000 canera have to have everything perfect and ff... i still stay behind my words that this camera had to have price as xe range-everything else is insanity...

No, expecting that price from a small company is insanity. Maybe $3000 is too much, but give me one example of a new digital camera with a mechanical rangefinder that is priced anywhere near the X-E range.
