Photos: The history of the digital camera

By Rich Trenholm on 02 November 2007, 9:00am

The shape of things to come
The shape of today's compact digital cameras began to emerge in Casio QV-10 in 1995, which was the first with an LCD screen on the back. The screen measured 46mm (1.8 inches) from corner to corner.

It was also the first consumer digital camera with a pivoting lens. Photos were captured by a 1/5-inch 460x280-pixel CCD and stored to a semiconductor memory, which held up to 96 colour still images. Other now-familiar features included macro positioning, automatic exposure, auto-playback of images and a self timer. It cost $1,000.
