This is awesome! Here's a photo of the world's first digital camera -- a prototype created by Kodak in 1975. It was the size of a toaster, and the image (black and white at a resolution we would consider 0.01 megapixels) was stored on a tape cassette and took 23 seconds to write.
To view the image on the camera, you had to attach it to a "microcomputer" that then displayed the image on a standard TV. And of course, it took 23 seconds to render the image on the TV. Cool stuff for 1975!
