Micro Mirrorless Camera Kickstarter Campaign Launched by Yashica and Im Back
Summary
The outcome is an extremely compact interchangeable lens system aimed at travelers, content creators, and smartphone upgraders. Some details are yet to be disclosed as the new product seems to be in its early prototyping stages, but we’ll try to figure out this unique offering, hoping to get a working sample for further review in the near future. The concept of a small sensor interchangeable lens is quite charming, but no system smaller than Micro Four Thirds has managed to prove sustainability. Based on a 1″ sensor (x2.7 crop factor, about half the size of Micro Four Thirds), this system consisted of several camera bodies and a dozen lenses. A flip-out screen is also on board, and there is an additional attachable EVF mockup due later (with no set time frame at this point).
