Other camera things.
- Handspring Eyemodule2 ($199) 640x480 (4:3) x 8-bit stills and video
- Apple QuickCam was the first PC webcam
- The first digital camera was the Dycam Model 1/Logitech Fotoman
I'm curious what the first computer-attached, direct capture, digital cameras were for various platforms because digital photographs were being taken before 1993 without film and not the more expensive DSLR.
- kalleboo 3y agoThere were a bunch of still video capture solutions you could hook an NTSC camera up to your 8-bit home computer era (Apple II or C64)
- rwmj 3y agoI remember seeing someone capture a single frame of TV (or possibly from a VHS video) on an Amstrad PCW at a trade conference some time in the late 80s and thinking that was the most incredible piece of technology ever. A frame of TV displayed in glorious dithered green phosphor.
