The last table which compares it with the other vendors is surprising. Even Stich Data (cheapest) costs $1 to move 240K records: (1B / 4,166.67 = 240K). Is this real?

So, their solution costs $1 to process 13.6M records. Sounds like this is not very share-worthy.

What I'm missing here?

Thank you CloudFlare for doing your part!

E.g. "Ranked #1 as the most popular university among international students" (I saw this ad on a bus). It doesn't say anything about the quality of the education or the recognition.

You can trust customer reviews more than these awards.

Only recently, I happen to realise, we could have listened to this man little more. Too late then, we are sold already.

Recover well Mr Stallman! I wish you the best!

By my own experience I know they don't have even basic business ethics.

Several years ago, a quite a large transaction appeared in my credit card bill. Upon checking I found GoDaddy charged for a hosting service I never asked for. Upon calling their support, they were not surprised or asked any question, they just rollbacked the transaction. I'm saying again, no sales person or anyone reached out to me before using my credit card to process the order I never asked for.

I have a few domains and a shared hosting service with them. Their price increases are not justifiable. I'm in the process of packing my stuff.

Pixii do understand the good product design with a premium feel/lifestyle and photographers' needs. In most of the cases, they have made the right choices.

This camera may not be the ideal one for the wedding, sports, but street, travel kind of photography. This is more leaning towards the market addressed by Leica M series and some Fuji Cameras rather the market being addressed by Sony and Cannon.

As some of you may know, Leica M 11 costs around 10K USD and it doesn't have many modern still and video features that come with current mirrorless camera that costs 1/3 of its price.

Pixii being an interchangeable lens camera with Leica M mount is great thing. That means most of the great M lenses available on the market (including 2nd hand) are compatible with this. And the photographer can choose the lens with preferred focal length, quality and size of his/her own preference.

Why would anyone start a new camera company when smartphones have multiple cameras, they are good in quality(?) while they are ubiquitous? It is true that smartphone cameras have been improved a lot. But photography requires control over the variables in exposure triangle, corner to corner sharpness by larger image sensors, good optics (lenses), accurate colors etc. When Tim Cook says recent iPhone Pros can shoot films, it is only half true.

I'm a software developer who does photography as a hobby. I own Sony A7 IV. I do street photography most of the time. A pixii with a smaller 23mm lens in my pocket would be handier when I'm on the street rather holding a heavy, bigger gear and having to carry a dedicated bag.
