// IMPORTANT
This camera is NOT working!

I didn't manage to get this "QuickTake 100" to work. To be honest. I didn't spend to much time trying either ;) I suspect it has something to do with the internal battery. But because of previous reason. The camera is now auctioned as NON-working! I only had it as an historical item and conversation piece.

Furthermore. I like to be respectful about all the vintage gear, but the fact is using the QuickTake 100 in the modern day would be the most frustrating experience ever. Software is not-compatibel anymore.

French version!

// STORY

It received a Product Design Award in 1995, and early reviews were enthusiastic about the industrial design and ease of use.

Every story has a beginning and when it comes to digital cameras, most of them start with the Apple QuickTake 100, not only Apple’s first digital camera, but a model widely considered to be the first consumer digital camera from anyone – terms and conditions apply.

Launched in early 1994 at a price of around $750, the QuickTake 100 packed one third of a Megapixel and a single Megabyte of storage into a case that looked more like a small pair of binoculars, with no screen for composition or playback.

What made the QuickTake 100 claim its place in history was being the first consumer model costing under $1000 and taking full colour photos; it even remembered your images if the batteries ran out.

Just look at the QuickTake 100, resembling a pair of binoculars – albeit with one eyepiece – and could be held like them too with both hands. Today it looks more like a surveyor’s tool rather than a stills camera, but back then it actually wasn’t an uncommon design, with companies like Kodak adopting a similar approach for its consumer models for several years.

Indeed the QuickTake 100 was a collaboration between Apple and Kodak, with Kodak providing most of the electronics including the sensor and lens, while Apple took care of the industrial design, LCD user interface and branding which included their standard rainbow logo and Garamond typeface of the time.

For imaging, the QuickTime 100 employed a Kodak CCD sensor with one third of a Megapixel, delivering photos with a maximum resolution of 640×480 pixels. The internal memory could only accommodate eight of them, but if you wanted more, you could switch to Standard mode which reduced the size to 320×240 pixels, squeezing up to 32 images. They weren’t pretty, but remember a 640×480 VGA photo was already wider than most websites in the mid-90’s and also had sufficient resolution to be printed at least a couple of inches wide, making it adequate for listing papers with fast-turnarounds.

Once your memory was full though, that was it. If you absolutely needed to record more images while out and about, and you didn’t have a laptop to empty the camera, you had to push that Trashcan button and erase the entire lot like a Defender smartbomb.
