New Pixiie M-Mount Rangefinder Camera
Pixii -the French maker behind the Leica M-mount Pixii+ (APS-C) and Pixii Max (Full-Frame) rangefinder cameras is teasing a new camera on its site. The teaser image is vague, but one thing stands out: the top LCD seen on previous models appears to be gone. Pixii bodies famously skip rear LCDs altogether, much like the Leica M11-D, pushing you to review shots on your phone instead. Which makes me wonder, and yes this is pure speculation, could this next Pixii finally add a rear screen?

Pixiie Max
The Pixiie Max uses a 24MP full-frame sensor and starts at $4,999 with 128GB of built-in storage (there’s no memory card slot). By contrast, the Leica M11-D lists at $10,055 and includes 256GB onboard plus an SD card slot.
