QuickTake100: One of the first digital cameras

Apple is known for its innovations in computers and mobile phones, but in February 1994 it introduced for the first time in Tokyo one of the first digital cameras, the QuickTake100! Four months later, it becomes available for purchase at a price of $ 750, which today equates to about $ 1400. A year later it won an award for best design, while Time magazine included it in the 100 best gadgets since 1923.

In the following years Apple released two more models, the QuickTake150 in 1995 and the QuickTake200 in 1996, with the latest model being compact, lightweight, easy to use and equipped with a 1.8-inch LCD screen allowing the user to view photos who has taken and managed them.

Three years after its release, Steve Jobs returns to Apple and stops producing and selling it along with many other non-computer related products. However, the name QuickTake reappeared on iPhones in 2018 as a video camera feature.
