Apple QuickTake

The Apple QuickTake (codenamed Venus, Mars, Neptune) is one of the first consumer digital camera lines. It was launched in 1994 by Apple Computer and was marketed for three years before being discontinued in 1997. Three models of the product were built, including the 100 and 150, both designed by Kodak and built by Kodak's manufacturing partner Chinon, and the 200, built by Fujifilm. The QuickTake cameras had a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels maximum (0.3 Mpx). Time magazine profiled QuickTake as "the first consumer digital camera" and ranked it among its "100 greatest and most influential gadgets from 1923 to the present" list. Although the greyscale Dycam Model 1 (also marketed as the Logitech FotoMan) was the first consumer digital camera to be sold in the US (starting in November 1990) and at least one other camera, the Fuji DS-X, was sold in Japan even earlier, in late 1989, the QuickTake was the first digicam to have wide consumer acceptance.
