Yashica is upgrading a 67 year old camera to digital but keeping its retro flash.

The original Yashica Y16 debuted in 1959 as a 16mm film camera but the company is reviving it as a 12-megapixel retro digital shooter with an added LCD display on the back. Pricing hasn’t been announced ahead of preorders opening in October, but the new Y16 will still feature a bright Xenon flash instead of using LEDs.

<em>Yashica hasn’t revealed the size of the sensor in the Y16 but it’s expected to be small to keep the camera’s price accessible.</em>
<em>The camera’s optical viewfinder is joined by a small LCD display for framing, adjusting settings, or perusing photos.</em>
<em>The camera will launch in seven different color variations.</em>
