A History of Digital Camera

newdig — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 18:28:58 +0000

Thirty-five years ago this month–in December 1975–an engineer named Steven Sasson snapped a photo with the world’s first fully digital camera at a Kodak lab. It took 23 seconds to record a 100-by-100-pixel image to cassette tape. Not until the early 1990s, however, did digital photo technology take off, launching an attack that would conquer the consumer camera industry in less than a decade. In the slides ahead, let’s examine some highlights of digital camera history.

In the Beginning

Kodak Digital Camera (1975)

Resolution: 100 by 100 pixels (0.01 megapixels).

You’re looking at the world’s first digital camera. It recorded crude images to cassette tape, images that could then be viewed on a special display device hooked to a TV set.

Commercially Available

1. Fujix DS-1P (1989). Resolution: 0.4MP

2. Dycam Model 1 (1990). Resolution: 376 by 240 pixels (0.09MP), 256 levels of gray.

The Fujix DS-1P was the world’s first commercial digital camera. It wrote digital files to solid-state memory cards, but was available only in Japan for a brief time. The Dycam was the first digital camera sold in the United States.

Kodak and Nikon

1. Kodak Digital Camera System (1991). Resolution: 1320 by 1035 pixels (1.3MP).

2. Kodak DCS200 (1992). Resolution: 1524 by 1012 pixels (1.5MP).

Starting in 1991, Kodak produced camera systems that paired Nikon bodies with Kodak digital sensors in place of film. The original DCS cost $20,000 and required a tethered hard-disk system

Now in Color

1. Apple QuickTake 100 (1994). Resolution: 640 by 480 pixels (0.3MP).

2. Kodak DC40 (1995). Resolution: 756 by 504 pixels (0.38MP).

These two early digital cameras, both developed by Kodak, were based on the same underlying technology. They captured images in 24-bit color.

LCDs Arrive

1. Casio QV-10 (1995). Resolution: 320 by 240 pixels (0.07MP).

2. Kodak DC25 (1996). Resolution: 493 x 373 pixels (0.18MP).

The Casio QV-10 was the first consumer digital camera to include a built-in LCD screen. The Kodak DC25 was the first to use Compact Flash media for storage

New Developments

1. Olympus Deltis VC-1100 (1994). Resolution: 768 by 576 pixels (0.44MP).

2. Nikon Coolpix 100 (1996). Resolution: 512 by 480 (0.24MP).

3. Ricoh RDC1 (1995). Resolution: 768 by 576 (0.44MP).

The Olympus Deltis VC-1100 incorporated a modem for transmission of photos over regular phone lines. The Nikon Coolpix plugged into a laptop’s PC Card slot to transfer pictures. The Ricoh RDC1 was the first digital still camera to record video.

Saving to Storage

1. Sony Digital Mavica FD5 (1997). Resolution: 640 by 480 pixels (0.3MP).

2. Sony Mavica CD1000 (2000). Resolution: 1600 by 1200 pixels (1.92MP).

The FD5 was the first digital camera to write to 3.5-inch floppy disks for photo storage. In a later first, the Mavica CD1000 wrote to miniature CD-R discs.

The Late Nineties

1. Kodak DC260 (1998). Resolution: 1536 by 1024 (1.57MP).

2. Sony Cybershot D700 (1998). Resolution: 1344 by 1024 (1.37MP).

3. Olympus D-620L (1999). Resolution: 1280 by 1024 (1.31MP).

These three cameras were typical of mid-upper-range consumer digital models in the late 1990s.

For Kids

1. Barbie Photo Designer Digital Camera (1998). Resolution: 160 by 120 pixels (0.02MP).

2. WWF Slam Cam (1999). Resolution: 160 by 120 (0.02MP).

These were two of the first toy digital cameras on the market. They could store only six photos, but retailed for under $100.

The First Digital SLRs

1. Nikon D1 (1999). Resolution: 2000 by 1312 pixels (2.62MP).

2. Canon EOS D30 (2000). Resolution: 2160 by 1440 (3.11MP).

These two models were the first fully integrated digital single-lens reflex cameras (SLRs). Both were notable for using lenses from their equivalent systems in the 35mm film world.

Small but Powerful

1. Canon PowerShot S100 Digital ELPH (2000). Resolution: 1600 by 1200 pixels (1.92MP).

2. Casio Exilim EX-S1 (2002). Resolution: 1280 by 960 pixels (1.22MP).

The Canon S100 pushed digital pocket cameras toward smaller sizes and higher resolutions. The Exilim continued that trend with its tiny, almost credit-card dimensions.

Full Frame

1. Contax N Digital (2002). Resolution: 3040 by 2008 pixels (6.1MP).

2. Canon EOS-1Ds (2002). Resolution: 4064 by 2704 pixels (10.99MP).

The Contax N Digital was the first camera to include a CCD sensor the size of a full 35mm frame. The EOS-1Ds was Canon’s first full-frame camera

The Digital Camera Evolves

1. Canon EOS Digital Rebel D300 (2003). Resolution: 3072 by 2048 pixels (6.29MP).

2. Olympus E-1 (2003). Resolution: 2560 by 1920 pixels (4.91MP).

3. Epson R-D1 (2004). Resolution: 3008 by 2000 pixels (6.01MP).

The Canon D300 was the first digital SLR under $1000. The Olympus E-1 was the first camera to use the Four-Thirds SLR system. Epson’s R-D1 was the first digital rangefinder camera.

A Top-of-the-Line DSLR

1. Nikon D3X (2008). Resolution: 6048 by 4032 pixels (24.38MP).

The D3X is currently Nikon’s top-of-the-line digital SLR, and it’s targeted squarely at professional photographers. Canon’s highest-resolution DSLR is the EOS-1Ds Mark III.

3D Cameras

1. Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 (2010). Resolution: 3648 by 2736 (9.98 MP).

2. Sony Cyber-DSC-TX7 (2010). Resolution: 3648 by 2736 (9.98 MP).

Fujifilm’s Real 3D W3 is the first consumer digital camera that can shoot 3D photographs (and video). Sony’s DSC-TX7 is a full-featured pocket point-and-shoot with intelligent panorama features.

Nikon Coolpix S8100 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 10x Zoom-Nikkor ED Lens and 3.0-Inch LCD

Sure shooting, even in challenging lighting situations

The COOLPIX S8100 enables you to capture beautiful handheld portraits at night. In Night Portrait mode, the camera first shoots a rapid sequence of exposures at shutter speeds fast enough to capture the background cleanly followed by an additional exposure using the flash to capture your subject. The exposures are then merged into a single composite image, producing a beautiful image of both your subject and the background. It achieves this by combining the image-stabilizing advantages of lens shift VR with the ability of its new backside Illumination CMOS image sensor to rapidly expose and merge a series of shots.

Quick response and high-speed shooting

The COOLPIX S8100 keeps you ahead of the action with its ultra-fast start-up time, high-speed AF operation, and quick shot-to-shot turnaround. It also gives you the chance to shoot five consecutive images at a rapid 10 fps (approx.) at maximum size (4000 x 3000). Other high-speed options include Continuous Mode and the Pre-shooting Cache.

Crafted for quality

Engineering to ensure imaging excellence and maximize creative freedom includes a precision 10x zoom, NIKKOR ED glass lens and Nikon's EXPEED C2 Image Processing Engine.

Full HD movie recording with stereo sound

At the press of a button, you can record full 1080p HD movies with stereo sound, and use the 10x optical zoom throughout. While recording, save a still image at any time by pressing the shutter button. Also there's a built-in HDMI connector that enables output to your high-definition TV.

Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS 12.1 MP

newdig — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 23:35:39 +0000

Canon's PowerShot SD1300 IS keeps your memories fresh with detailed 12.1-megapixel pictures. Pull the action in close with its 4X zoom, and rely on optical image stabilization to offset camera movement for blur-free results. The wide-angle lens lets you capture expansive landscape photos or fit a large group of folks into a single frame. This camera's Smart Auto mode makes life simple when you want to just "point and shoot." It analyzes your scene and automatically adjusts its settings for well-exposed photos.

Face detection lets you take true-to-life portraits of your favorite people. The camera focuses on the people in your frame and brings out realistic skin tones, compensating for background colors that might otherwise create a "washed-out" effect. And the advanced self-timer lets you enter the frame at your own pace — the camera snaps a photo two seconds after the photographer's face has entered the frame.
