If numerology has any intuitive value, surely #1234 has to be about growth, right? 😉 3-4 years ago, I purchased my X1D, thinking it would be the camera to end all camera-hunting. Yeah, right. How deluded can you be? 😆 😆 😆 There’s good news about this subject. And there’s bad news. The […]

David Barth will probably hate this title. That matters, because David Barth is the founding father of Pixii, a new entry to the ailing field of camera manufacturers.

In October 2015, Light, an aptly named California-based company, announced the development of a new camera concept, which claimed to change the way we practice photography.
