Yashica City 100 zoom compact review: a name steeped in photographic history adorns this affordable point-and-shoot camera

Yashica City 100 product image.

Yashica is a famous photographic company that started out in 1949, making bits and pieces for electric clocks before launching its first twin-lens reflex camera in 1953. Like other greats including Agfa, Kodak and Minolta, the name has been bought up and repurposed, finding favor with Gen Z snappers looking for an affordable camera.

 To be blunt, I’ve reviewed a fair few cheap plastic digital cameras recently, and have been generally underwhelmed. Getting back to those big names, there have been the passable Kodak PixPro FZ45 and the mostly missable AgfaPhoto Realishot DC8200 and Minolta MND25.
