Probably the same time you went down to the shop to pick up a roll of film.
So imagine our surprise when we saw a couple of new Yashicas lying around at the Imaging Expo Singapore. And these were not relics either. The star of the pile is the yet-to-be-announced 14-megapixel Yashica AV1400-HD. Yep, 14 megapixels. The largest we've yet seen on a compact camera.
According to the Singapore distributor, the AV1400-HD is expected to be available in the island Republic by end December. No pricing details as of press time.
Of the other Yashicas, we have a little more information. The Yashica EZ8032 and EZ7033 are two decently slim shooters, though we think a little polish is in order in terms of design.
The EZ8032 is an 8.2-megapixels cam with a 2.5-inch LCD and a thickness of 22mm. Shutter speed ranges from 1 to 1/1,500 sec with an aperture of F2.8-4.9.
The EZ7033 is a 7.2-megapixel camera with a 3-inch screen, 3x optical zoom and 18.5mm thick. Oddly, it has a maximum light sensitivity cap of ISO 400.
Both cameras are priced at S$584 and are now available in Singapore.

14 megapixels in a compact point-and-shoot cameras? Will crummy sensors do them justice?
