Photography enthusiasts, get ready to embrace the future of travel-friendly cameras. The collaboration between Colorful photo-tech inventor Samuel Mello Medeiros and camera/optics veteran Yashica has led to the creation of the Micro Mirrorless Yashica – I’m Back, touted as the world’s smallest mirrorless camera.

Measuring just 77 x 50 mm (3 x 1.97 in) without the lens, this pocket-sized marvel is a game-changer in the world of photography. Equipped with a 1/2.33-inch-type IMX117 CMOS sensor from Sony at 12 megapixels, the camera boasts the capability to capture 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) video recording at 24 frames per second for approximately 30 minutes.

The camera also features a 2-inch articulating touchscreen for shot previews, a 1,350-mAh battery, and a range of manual-focus lenses, including a wide-angle, standard, and telephoto lens. While the camera does not include autofocus, it aims to provide an alternative to smartphones with its superior photo and video quality.

Additional features include a microphone input for an external mic, HDMI output, microSD card slot, USB-C port, and built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for wireless file transfer. For extended snap time, an optional battery grip is available.

The Micro Mirrorless Yashica – I’m Back is set to revolutionize the way we capture moments on the go, offering a compact and powerful alternative to traditional bulky DSLRs and even smartphones. Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking innovation in the world of photography.
