worlds first digital camera

Photobucket

The world's first digital camera was invented in 1975 by Steven J. Sasson. It weighed eight pounds, was the size of a toaster, and produced a 0.01 megapixel image that took 23 seconds to record onto a digital cassette tape.

    Are you sure that's a digital cassette tape? I don't think DCC was invented in those days.
