Yashica is upgrading a 67 year old camera to digital but keeping its retro flash.

The original Yashica Y16 debuted in 1959 as a 16mm film camera but the company is reviving it as a 12-megapixel retro digital shooter with an added LCD display on the back.

Amazon plans to expand Prime Air to nearly 500 cities and towns this year, but some residents in one US city already covered by the drone delivery service say that it’s “been a disaster.” The drones are a privacy and safety concern, according to people living in Richardson, Texas, and sound like flying lawn mowers.
