I've read that there are several small differences between the Yashica Electro 35 CC and the later version - the Yashica Electro 35 CCN. Below I've compiled a list of the differences that I'm aware of.
Are there any other differences (internal or external) between these two cameras?
* Wide designation on the front
* Different (smaller) rewind lever
* No back memo pocket like on CC
* Shutter's longest exposure is 8 sec (CC = 15 seconds)
* New serial number sequence

There are a few different versions of the CC. The first version had a "dog-leg" winding lever similar to the full-size Electro. In the middle of the production run, some CC cameras were fitted with a fragile aluminum retaining screw for the wind lever, these screws are prone to breakage. The last of the CC models did not come with a memo pouch on the film door.
Another difference between the two cameras is the issue of reliability. It seems that the CCN models were built to a higher quality standard, and very rarely fail. I have had dozens of CC and CCN cameras, about 1/4 of the CC cameras did not work, but every single CCN worked properly.
The CCN is much more rare than the CC.
