For decades, YASHICA has stood for craftsmanship, soul, and the quiet poetry of photography. The new YASHICA FX-D brings that legacy into the digital age without sacrificing the charm of analog. Inspired by the FX-3, it blends vintage style with modern capability. This is not just a camera. It's a new way to experience storytelling.


YASHICA FX-D camera with film simulations and digital mode

One Camera, Two Worlds


Photographers used to carry two cameras to get two kinds of images. One for digital convenience. One for film’s moody grain. The YASHICA FX-D solves that. It merges both styles in a single body. Switch modes instantly. Choose between clean digital clarity or textured film simulation. No need to compromise. The FX-D lets you move fluidly between both.


YASHICA FX-D: Designed for Slowness and Speed


Photography today often feels rushed. The YASHICA FX-D slows you down, on purpose. Its manual film advance lever isn’t just for show. Every pull invites you to pause, think, and connect. It turns each shot into a decision. Into a ritual. Into something personal.


But when you need speed, the FX-D is ready. The digital mode kicks in without delay. High-quality images. Minimal fuss. Street photography. Family moments. Travel diaries. It covers all of it, without ever feeling clinical.


Six Film Simulations, Infinite Personality


Film photographers know: it’s not just about the subject. It’s about mood, tone, and texture. The YASHICA FX-D gives you six built-in film simulations. Each has its own color palette and feel. Use them straight out of the camera or tweak everything manually.


Want more control? You’ve got it. Adjust grain, contrast, tone, sharpness, saturation, hue, and white balance shift. Save up to two personal “recipes.” Switch between them in seconds. It’s the soul of analog, but you’re the author.


YASHICA FX-D: Two Models, One Philosophy


The FX-D comes in two variations. Both share the same spirit, but they serve different needs:


  • FX-D 100: This is the compact option. It has a 13MP sensor, perfect for everyday shooting. Lightweight. Intuitive. Ideal for creators who want the analog feel without complexity. Includes 3x optical and 4x digital zoom.

  • FX-D 300This is the pro-grade version. It boasts a powerful 50MP sensor. Built for large prints, professional editing, and detailed shots. Optical image stabilization comes standard. This is for those who want maximum flexibility in post-production.


No matter which model you choose, the mission stays the same. Give photographers an authentic tool that encourages thoughtful creativity.


Tactile Craftsmanship


Hold it once, and you’ll understand. The YASHICA FX-D feels solid. Real. Like the cameras you used to borrow from your parents. It’s modeled after the legendary FX-3, down to the dials and switches. Every click and turn feels deliberate.


It’s not just nostalgia. It’s respect for the photographer’s hand. In a world of touchscreens and plastic, this camera feels like a rebellion. A beautiful one.


Built for Today’s Creative Flow


Despite its vintage soul, the FX-D knows how to live in a modern world. It connects via the YASHICA App for quick sharing. It has a flip screen that rotates 180°, perfect for vlogging or self-portraits. Whether you post daily or keep your photos private, the camera fits your rhythm.

This isn’t about filters or gimmicks. It’s about giving you honest tools to tell your story.


Why It Matters


The YASHICA FX-D stands out because it bridges a gap. Between fast and slow. Digital and analog. Convenience and craft.


It’s a reminder that photography doesn’t have to be instant or disposable. That slowing down can make your images better. That the tools you use matter, because they shape the way you see.


It’s not just a device. It’s a creative partner.


A Legacy of Innovation

YASHICA has always pushed boundaries. In the 1970s, they sold over 5 million Electro 35 cameras. In 2017, they introduced the Y35 digiFilm system, blending digital and film in a new way. It became Asia’s most-funded camera campaign on Kickstarter.


Then came the YASHICA Vision and Explorer—night vision goggles using cutting-edge tech. This is a company that respects its past but looks forward. With the YASHICA FX-D, they’re doing both at once.


A Creative Community


YASHICA has worked with names like Supreme, Miu Miu, and Sanrio. Their cameras aren’t just tools. They’ve become part of visual culture. Part of how people express identity and emotion.

Now, they’re making that culture more accessible. More people can now afford a real camera that offers genuine creative freedom. Not another app. Not another disposable photo. But something meaningful.


Back Now YASHICA FX-D On Kickstarter


The YASHICA FX-D isn’t for everyone. It’s not meant to replace your phone. It’s for people who care how their photos feel. For creators who miss the tactile joy of real dials and real decisions. For anyone who wants to reconnect with the art of photography.


With its thoughtful design, flexible shooting modes, and deep creative control, it gives you permission to slow down—and the tools to capture moments that last.
