QuickTake

From Mac Guides

The Apple QuickTake was launched in February 1994 and was one of the very first digital cameras that was widely available to the public.

QuickTake 100

The QuickTake 100 was Apple's first Quicktake and built by Kodak. It was priced at $749 and featured an 8mm lens, had a resolution of 640x480 (0.3 megapixels), a small LCD status window and a 1 MB solid state memory capable of holding 25 pictures. The Quicktake 100 was styled like a pair of binoculars and finished in matte grey. It was just 6.1" x 5.3" x 2.2" and weighed just 1 lb (0.5 kgs) even though it used 3 AA batteries for its power. It was initially only compatible with Apple Macs, however Apple later introduced Microsoft Windows compatible QuickTakes.

QuickTake 150

Launched in May 1995, the QuickTake 150 was a minor revision to the QuickTake 100 and was also built by Kodak. The price was dropped to $700.

QuickTake 200

The QuickTake 200 was built by Fuji and was almost identical to Fuji's own DS-7. It launched in February 1997 and was priced at $600. Photos were now stored on a removable 2 MB SmartMedia card and the integrated LCD display now enabled you to preview each photo before it was saved. It also had a slideshow feature which cycled through your photos.

In 1997 when Steve Jobs returned to Apple, the QuickTake camera was discontinued.
