Kodak digital cameras are produced by a multinational American cooperation known as Eastman Kodak Company. The first recorded digital camera was invented in 1975 by Steven Sasson, who was an electrical engineer at Eastman Kodak Company, at that time.
The camera was produced as a technical exercise and hence was a prototype which was not intended for production. It weighed eight pounds, recorded its pictures in black and white to a cassette tape and it had a resolution of about 0.01 megapixels. The first image captured by it took twenty three minutes and was captured in December 1975.
A long line of professional Kodak digital cameras was initiated when Kodak brought the Kodak DCS-100 to the market, in 19991. These digital cameras were based on film bodies, in part and were often Nikons. They also used a 1.3 megapixel sensor. The price of these Kodak digital cameras were approximately $13,000
Kodak introduced an improved version of its previous Kodak digital camera system – the Kodak Professional DCS 200 camera, which has electronics and recording capability; and the camera was one handheld unit.
The first customers of these cameras were photojournalists who were not hesitant to buy them.
In 1994, the Apple QuickTake 100 camera was designed as a Kodak digital camera and supplied by the Kodak Company to Apple computer- this was the world’s first consumer priced digital camera.
In 1995, the first consumer priced model DC40 Kodak digital cameras were introduced by Kodak Cooperation.
Then, in 1996, Kodak digital cameras that use compact flash were introduced in the product line – Kodak DC-25.
In 1997, the world’s first consumer megapixel digital camera which was a Kodak digital camera- the DC210 was introduced- priced under $1000.
The move to digital formats was much easier after the formation of the first JPEG and MPEG standards in 1998. Compressing image and video files for easier storage was allowed thanks to these standards.
Then Kodak launched its first 3 mega pixel consumer Kodak digital cameras- the DC4800 zoom digital camera. With manual and automatic settings for maximum creative control and flexibility, the critically acclaimed point-and-shoot camera was designed.
Another brand of ebay Kodak digital cameras was introduced in 2001.
