Released nearly three decades ago in 1994, the QuickTake 100 was Apple's first digital camera and among the very first digital cameras available to general consumers. But as much of an impact as it had back then, it hasn't aged well.
Before looking at the QuickTake 100, it’s worthwhile to consider Apple in the early to mid-1990s. It’s easy to think about Apple as a massive, highly successful company, given the ubiquity of the iPhone, iPad, and Apple silicon-powered Mac computers today. However, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for Apple nearly 30 years ago.
The reason for that stroll down memory lane is to emphasize that Apple wasn’t swimming in the cash reserves it has today and the Cupertino-based tech giant wasn’t quite as free to embark on risky business ventures as it is now. Nonetheless, Apple launched the QuickTake series in 1994 with the QuickTake 100, entering a new product segment for the company.
At the heart of the QuickTake 100 is a Kodak CCD image sensor with a whopping 640 by 480 resolution; it’s a 307-kilopixel sensor, which sounds better than 0.37 megapixels. However, in 1994, a camera that cost $750 and produced full-color images wasn’t just unusual, it was wholly unique. Digital photography hadStorage is an issue. The camera features internal memory, which is convenient, but there is no way to expand it.
As Laing observes, the most challenging aspect of using the Apple QuickTake 100 today isn’t its lackluster image quality, paltry memory, or relatively useless rear display . The issue with the QuickTake 100 in 2023 is finding a way to access photos, their iffy quality aside. The camera only works alongside its original software, requiring anyone using it to find a computer that can run the software. Laing couldn’t get it to work using emulation and was instead forced to track down old hardware.
