The QuickTake 100 turns 20 →

Stewart Wolpin at Mashable:

First unveiled at the Tokyo MacWorld Expo on February 17, 1994, the QuickTake 100 went on sale 20 years ago from yesterday — June 20, 1994. It was priced at $749 and initiated the age of consumer digital photography.

One reason why the QuickTake 100 is not often mentioned as an Apple breakthrough — other than the fact that Jobs’ himself had nothing to do with it — was that it’s one of the few non-computer products Apple produced and one Apple itself didn’t design.

The entire QuickTake 100 line was built by Kodak, but the 200 was by Fujifilm. No matter the source, these products are still an interesting look at weird, 90s Apple.

More interesting? By some measures, the iPhone is the most popular camera in the world. I bet that twenty years ago, no one thought that a camera with an Apple logo on it would take over the world.
