How Digital Cameras were born

An interesting history of the digital camera via CNET, from its early 4kg, .01 megapixel count (in black and white only of course) beast of a machine, through to the first true digital images (no analogue involved) of the auroras (at a then-mind-blowing 100×100px), with Apple’s entry into the market (the Quicktake) as the other big boys jump in, and even a link at the end to Hasselblad’s viciously high tech latest, the HD3 II, which for it’s 18.500£ price tag will allow you to record up to 39mp images, for which I have no words other than “damn!!!”. A trip through the ol’ skool….
