Apple Quicktake 100 Camera

The camera above is one of several vintage digital cameras I own. I bought my first digital camera, an Apple Quicktake 200, in 1996, the one above dates from 1994. It was the first digital camera to be launched by Apple and was in production for less than a year. The camera was very expensive, plus you needed a Mac to get the images out of the camera. Not suprisingly, theses are rare cameras.

I used these camera to make images for web sites and print during the nineties and I still have the original files on hard disks. It occurred to me that the images from these early cameras are very rare, so you may be interested to see what photographs from an early digital camera look like.

The photos above are about average for the camera, I'm sure many people would find them unusable, but you have to work with what you've got. By reducing the size, they look good and by uprezzing it's possible to make 20x30 inch prints.
