I found a link to some shareware for the Apple Quicktake at this link:
They say it is compatible with newer Macs.

Hello Beth,

The camera was called the "Quicktake". I remember them well, as they were
the start of digital photography (Canon and NIkon and the others got into
this end of it after Apple showed it was possible to make $ at it).

The format is the older pict format that Apple used for graphics (it still
sees some limited use!). If you can find the QuickTake app , oops, that
should be "program" that came with the camera it will let you export to
other formats.

Photoshop or Graphics convertor or just about any graphics editor may be
able to open them using the pict-based formats.

      My Boss said he used to have an old Apple camera (he thinks around
      1987) that took pictures in a format called quicktake. It saved them
      as .qtk files. He ran across some of these old files and wondered if
      there was anything out there that would open them.

      Anyone ever heard of this?

Someday, I will come up with a clever signature line. I am not sure if I
will use it or not, but I will come up with one.
