Photos: The history of the digital camera

Apple gets in on the action: the QuickTake
You'd have to live under a rock to not know that Apple makes phones these days, but did you know it also had a crack at the digital camera market? The Apple QuickTake 100 (pictured top), launched in 1994, was actually manufactured by Kodak, and was the the first colour digital camera for under $1,000. It packed a 640x480-pixel CCD and could stash up to eight 640x480 images in the internal memory.

The QuickTake 200 (pictured below) followed later, and was built by Fujifilm.
