Thought I would share this interesting photo from a recent New Scientist.
First Digital Camera_0001 copy.jpg
The year is 1975.
The maker is Kodak, New York, USA.
It is the first portable digital camera. Laboratory prototype, not for sale.
Resolution 0.01MP (100x100 pixels).
Black and white only.
Chief engineer was Steve Sasson. Comment from colleagues: "Why would you want to look at photos on a TV?"
I love the writing on the cassette tape: "Digital Equipment Corporation". Anyone remember DEC computers?

I realise that this post was dated back in 2008, but I have only become aware of the DVD this year when I received it as a birthday present from my partner.I completely agree with the above post. I found it so interesting and the interviews are great. I am sure i will be watching it more than once.

EASTMAN Kodak Co says it will list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange and begin trading on Friday as the company's recovery continues. The Rochester, NY, photography and film pioneer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2012 after failing to cope with economic, industry and competitive challenges. It has since shed its debt, sold off assets and is trying to make a comeback as a smaller company focused on commercial and packaging printing.
Eastman Kodak's stock was cancelled in September as it emerged from bankruptcy. The company issued new shares that have been trading over the counter. Its stock will move to the New York Stock Exchange and trade under the symbol "KODK".

I love this idea, what about the introduction of the light field photographic camera, this is the one where it not only records colour but the direction of light as it enters the camera, this is how you can post process and digitally refocus an image after it is taken. Might be a bit of a gimic but it is innovative,
