Kodak DCS-100
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kodak DCS-100 was the first DSLR camera. It was mounted on a Nikon F3 body and released by Kodak in 1991. Aimed at the photo journalism market in order to speed up the transmitting of pictures back to the studio or newsroom, the DCS 100 had a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. It came with an outer module to store and to visualize the images, and to house the batteries. It could store up to 156 images without compression on its 200 megabyte hard disk drive.
The Kodak DCS-100 was available with two different digital format backs. It was available with a color back, which used a custom color-array layout, as well as an unfiltered, pan-chromatic, IR sensitive model.
Internally, It has a 3.5" SCSI hard drive. It connects up to machines via an external SCSI interface. It appears as a non-disk SCSI device, and can be accessed by a TWAIN-based plugin for Photoshop 3.
