Well if you buy it you would have a genuine Chinese camera instead of a Chinese made but Japanese brand.

The camera looks like an attempt to counterfeit one of the new Leica digicams to me. The only place I have seen that Chinese brand before is on a smart phone last summer in one of the Vegas electronics shows.

For the same $$$ you can get a super camera the Sony a6000 two lens kit.

I purchased four of this company's indoor cameras for security. They work well and the software seems good. But it is a far stretch to have them compete with the major brands of imaging products. We have to assume that they are "stealing" technology, and market share with lower quality product!

This is so obviously a Chinese knockoff of a Leica camera that it's not funny.
Their website does not even give any indication of who/where they are.
RUN AWAY!!!

There are several reviews on the web for this camera. Just search for them by name.
Basically, it seems like it would be a really good deal at $129, and about right at $249. To pay $599 ($50 more than the price back in 2016) seems like a bad investment.

Actually, that's an important distinction, in my opinion. The Chinese can do great knock-offs (in part, because of their lax intellectual property laws and industrial spying). In the case of the Chinese-made Japanese brands, the Japanese company controls the design, research and development, and, ultimately, quality control.
