i believe it was kodak.

they made a non-commercial camera, pros only, cost a lot of $$$$$$.

ironic that they have fallen behind now in the market.

i believe it was fujifilm and they led the race for years but not now of cause. i think my first ever digi was a fujifilm D-6 at 0.3MP it was considered State of the art .. i could be wrong with the model number.. it was about 10 years ago.

According to the New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge, the first commercial digital camera was the Sony Mavica, released in 1981. The CCD was developed in 1969 by Bell Labs. By 1975 they were able to create a create an electronic image with quality suitable for broadcast television. Kodak then developed pro level cameras, and the first consumer camera was the Apple QuickTake 100 in 1994.
