The Yashica Samurai V-70 is a still-video camera introduced by Kyocera in 1990. The vertical styling (resembling an amateur video or movie camera) was taken from the Samurai half-frame 35mm camera series, such as the Samurai Z2. As with other models in this category, it was not actually a digital camera, but rather recorded analog television scan lines onto special 2" Video Floppy disks. The designation "high-band" refers to a revised VF standard permitting greater image resolution.
The V-70 offers a 3x, f/1.4 9-27 mm zoom, entirely enclosed within the camera body. Images are recorded with a 1/2"-format, 360,000-pixel CCD sensor. The V-70 was apparently only sold in Japan, at a price equivalent to USD $770, with a dock for playback adding $220[1].
