And then there was two Pixii cameras... @pixiicamera sent me another to play with/compare with some hardware updates that me and some other beta testers noted. I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying being part of this process. ———————————————————————— #pixii #pixiicamera #digitalrangefinder #rangefindercamera #35mmc
