Cool factors are to each their own:
- French company
- Mobile app
- Upgrade-able
- Space Gray
- OLED control screen
- magnetic eyepiece
- "extended" rangefinder
- "EXIF support" -- not sure how this is done
- silent electronic shutter
- Mono DNG
- 64-bit processor
- built-in memory
Yep, appreciate companies that step out of line and create unique products rather than just towing the line.

The batch of orders from Black Friday (or even recent orders - shipping date has narrowed from weeks to days) is likely shipping this week, so no update yet. Hope to play with it leading up to Xmas, with all the opportunities and time constraints of that time. Will report back as soon as I can.

A couple of questions for those who ordered during Black Friday, was Pixii+ already available by then?
Also, what was the discount amount (I read it's not much), I am wondering if it's worth waiting that long for this year's BF again.
If memory serves it was 15% on Black Friday. December is pretty far away.
As for my experience, it was somewhere between I never got a chance to put it through the paces/it wasn't great. My Pixii+ sadly arrived severally misaligned (completely off the focus chart). Between unable to realign myself (from instructions) and the realization the phone app, if wifi kept off to preserve battery life (first suggestion everyone seems to make), isn't really more than Leica's, Fuji's, etc. phone apps, I decided to return. That process took quite a while and more emails than I'd consider acceptable, but there have been changes since, including B&H selling, seemingly removing some of the risk to US buyers. The never really getting a chance to test did cost me money, so I'm probably done with more Pixii experiments. Although I'm certainly not alone from others comments on various sites, I suspect we're in the minority and most seem positive in their experiences. I wish Pixii luck and hope they get things straightened out. That said I waited two years for bugs to be worked out and still had this happen.
