I had to share this item from Amateur Photographer, June 28, 1986...

"Kodak has developed, for individual applications, a b&w electronic camera using CCD technology and computer-enhanced imaging which greatly increases picture definition over other systems. The technology could be the basis of a consumer camera of the kind announced several years ago by Sony and Panasonic, where images are stored on magnetic disk, eliminating the need for film and developing - each time the shutter is clicked, the image is stored in the camera's memory. When the user gets home, the unit is plugged into the back of the TV set and the pictures viewed immediately".

That's the thing about digital photography: it brings the whole family together!

Personal computers? Don't be silly!

Cheers, Ian

Has there ever been any invention that has been launched in COLOUR. Everything seems to start off in Black & White....TV, Telephones, Video Games, Mobiles, Stamps, Cars, Photography, Guinness, Chess etc....
 
In 86 my “PC” was the size of a fridge and had a 20mb hard drive, it cost £40,000 it had a maximum 8 colour display in its “bitmap” mode……..the good old days!!
