Yashica's camcorder-styled APS zoom — 30-120mm lens, 3s-1/500 shutter, Kyocera-built, 1998.

The Yashica Samurai 4000ix was a fully automatic APS-format zoom camera built by Kyocera in 1998, reviving the camcorder-styled vertical body of the original Yashica Samurai 35mm half-frame SLRs of the late 1980s. In some markets it was sold as the Profile 4000ix, and it stood out among APS compacts for its grip-first, one-handed design.

Its headline feature is an unusually long 30-120mm 4x zoom for an APS point-and-shoot, paired with an electronic shutter running from 3 seconds to 1/500 and a built-in flash. The APS system provides drop-in film loading, automatic film speed setting and selectable print formats, and the vertical body places the shutter release under the right thumb like a camcorder.

The 4000ix appeals to collectors of unconventional 1990s designs as much as to shooters: the grip is genuinely comfortable and the 4x reach outguns most APS rivals, though the slow long end leans on flash indoors. It suits display collections and occasional use with remaining film stock rather than day-to-day photography.

APS film has been out of production since 2011, so usable film is expired stock only and processing is limited — many sell as display or parts, which keeps prices modest. If buying to shoot, confirm the electronics power up, the zoom runs its full travel, the flash charges, and the APS cassette door and film transport cycle correctly.
