Yashica resurfaces with a trio of new compact cameras

We haven't heard much from Yashica since it was snapped up by Kyocera way back when, but it looks like that's about to change, as Crave recently spotted three new digital cameras sporting the familiar brand at the Imaging Expo in Singapore. Leading the pack is the 14-megapixel AV1400-HD model, although there doesn't appear to be any more details on it than what you see on the face of the camera above (it will apparently be released by the end of the year though). Specs are a bit more plentiful for the now available EZ8032 and EZ7033 models, however, with the former boasting 8.2 megapixels, a 2.5-inch LCD, and thickness of 22 mm, and the latter packing a still decent 7.2 megapixels, along with a 3-inch screen, a 3x optical zoom, and an even slimmer thickness of just 18.5 mm. There's still no word on a possible release 'round there parts though, so die-hard Yashica fans may have to find a way to get one from Singapore.

[Thanks, Canonkid]

14 megapixels?? why so much?

ugg, i had an old school Yashica 35mm, it sucked eggs. I never liked them, Konica, or a slew of Eastern brands (sans Minolta) :/

14mp is just plain pointless in a PNS anyway.

I think they made it metal and smooth so you set the timer and jam it up into your *sniffles* and take a detailed pic of your inerds? Wipe off and us repeat!

Bend over and let me show you what I mean.. HAHA!

Many of Yashica's older film cameras are actually very well-regarded. But by this point it would just seem to be another label to slap on another OEM camera design...

The Yashica T4 Super was an excellent point and shoot film camera that went all over the world with me. I wish they could come up with an equivalent digital (excellent glass, weatherproof, tough).

What do you mean "resurface"? They were ever surfaced?
