Yashica announced plans to reintroduce its 1959 Y16 camera as a digital device while retaining its signature Xenon flash. The new version will capture 12-megapixel images and include a rear-mounted LCD screen, though pricing remains undisclosed ahead of October preorder availability. The company confirmed the sensor size will be modest to maintain an accessible price point, but no specifications beyond this have been released. The revival preserves the original model’s aesthetic design elements while transitioning to digital capture technology.
