New Yashica Fixed-Lens Compact Cameras

It’s nice to see compact cameras being made again.  Smart phones obliterated this market, but there’s still some things that smart phones cannot do as well as a dedicated camera.  This market will never recover to its previous glory but hopefully a nice niche will develop here.

Here’s what we know about these cameras:

  • Called the Yashica City line
  • Yashica City 100 has a fixed-lens with 3X zoom
  • Yashica City 200 has a fixed-lens with 10X zoom
  • Both have the same 1/3.06-inch 13-megapixel Sony sensor
  • 4:3 photo aspect ratio
  • Offers 4K video
  • Autofocusing
  • Price starting at around $249 USD (not confirmed)
