The Japanese company,
Yashica announced new Digital Compact Camera,

Yashica once successfully produced).

The
Yashica EZ F521 camera can shoot video at 640×480 pixels at up to 30 frames per second. A surprise is the ability to use the device as a webcam (for connecting to a computer used a USB interface).

Yashica EZ F521 is powered by three AAA batteries, which is enough to take 190 shots or 1.5 hours of video. Dimensions of the
Yashica EZ F521 camera are 110×66x48 mm and weight is 125 grams (without batteries).
