The updated Y16 trades original film spools for a 12-megapixel sensor and a rear-mounted LCD screen for immediate framing and review. To maintain the vintage utility of the original, the device incorporates a dedicated Xenon flash, a rare inclusion in the modern compact market. Yashica has priced the unit at $114.43, with the first wave of hardware scheduled to reach customers in November.
