[PRODIG] The First Digital Camera

[Adam Woolfitt]

I was recently asked "What was the first digital camera "?

(This is for a Book of "Firsts".)

I said it was the Sony Mavica which (according to Sony's website) appeared in 1981, although Sony call it an electronic camera.

It recorded it's pictures on a floppy disk and I remember that it seriously startled the trade at that time.

Can anyone throw further light on this? Am I wrong? Was there an earlier one?

All replies gratefully received.

- and have a Happy Christmas

regards
