[November 1973]
[索尼马维卡 (MABIKA)] - the world's first without photographic film electronic camera
In November 1973, Sony officially began the research work of the "electronic eye" CCD, on the basis of the continuous accumulation of technology in 1981 launched the world's first electronic camera without photographic film - Static video "Mawei Ka ( MABIKA) ". The camera uses a 10 mm × 12 mm CCD flakes, resolution is only 570 × 490 (27.9 million) pixels, optical signal into electronic signal transmission for the first time.
, Followed by Panasonic, COPAL, Fuji, Canon, Nikon and other companies have also started work on the development of the electronic camera, the prototype electronic camera and launched in 1984-1986.
==========================
[1986]
Sony MYC-A7AF] - the first digital camera with a purely physical operation.
A milestone in the history of industrial development in DC's second camera is the same for Sony's hand, shows that the market position of the company today are not "either substance."
In 1986, Sony released a MYC-A7AF, the first digital camera to have a purely physical operation, still images can be recorded on a 2-inch disc, also has been extended to a 38 million pixel pixel resolution. Casio VS-101 - the first CMOS sensor device electronic camera.
In 1987, Casio first sale in the market using the VS-101 electronic devices CMOS sensor camera, although the resolution is only 280,000 pixels, but this is a very substantial significance for the DC industry.
Today, CMOS addition has also been widely used in Canon high-end camera, other manufacturers have been the CCD as the dominant direction of their products.
==========================
[1988]
3 [Canon RC-760] - the first 60-megapixel models
Want to get close to the traditional camera shooting, enhance the CCD pixel resolution be considered the most fundamental way to resolve, launched by Canon 60 megapixel models RC-760 until 1988.
Electronic cameras use the 2/3 inch 60 megapixel CCD, slightly dull appearance Today, But this the highest pixel machinery of that era, cheaper than a car today is even more expensive.
==========================
[1990]
4 Kodak DCS 100] - establishes the general model of digital camera
Kodak DCS 100 - the first time in the world to establish the general pattern of the digital camera
In 1990, Kodak introduced DCS100 electronic camera in the world for the first time established the general pattern of the digital camera.
For professional photographers who, if a new machine has the body they are familiar with and manipulation mode, get started will undoubtedly become more simple. To cater to this consumer psychology, Kodak DCS100 application Nikon F3 body was then known, the internal functions Major changes were made in addition to the focusing screen and motor drive, all functions are generally goes for F3, and is compatible with a large Most Nikon lenses, and turns out to be well considered.
Digital SLR with 1.4 million pixels 20.5 x 16.4 mm. The CCD, the light becomes a multiple of 1.8X, but limited to the level of technology at the time did not give it with the built-in memory, only together with a bulky external storage unit (DSU ) use. DSU with camera dock today is almost as drive energy battery, built-in 200MB memory can store 150 uncompressed RAW photo.
The viewfinder mode compared with today's machines is very original, the photographer can use the optical viewfinder on the camera or on the DSU 4-inch LCD screen viewfinder, though inconvenient, but at the time, but very high-grade. When the price of the machine is equivalent to 225,000 yuan today, really ridiculously expensive ah.
Succeed in DCS100, Kodak launched in 1992, the the DCS100 subsequent models DCS200 it finally get rid of the DSU cumbersome, memory is placed in the body internally, so take out shooting, becomes very pleasant .
==========================
[1995]
5 [Nikon / Fuji E2/E2s] - Nikon, Fuji and giant teamed digital SLR
Whether Kodak and Canon, in the early product design invariably follows the tradition of the original film camera body, While this allows the professional photographers who feel the affinity of the product, but the product is more than one will inevitably make people boring feeling.
In 1995, Nikon, Fuji giant teamed up to launch new design E2/E2s, it is no longer copying the old-fashioned traditional fuselage, using an integrated design style, which is very easy to make people a fresh feeling.
Only a 1.3-megapixel digital SLR resolution, compared with the Kodak DCS460 the contemporary has 6,000,000 pixels starker. E2/E2s most special thing about using Nikon's newly developed ROS optical system, the light projected onto the CCD of the area is less than 35mm film through a set of optical components, based on the perspective of the lens can be kept unchanged, but limited the effective aperture serious shrink the image quality by a greater impact.
==========================
[June 1999]
6 [Nikon D1] - Nikon's first self-developed digital SLR
In June 1999, Nikon has finally launched the company's first self-developed digital SLR-D1, and open up a new era of digital SLR civilian With far lower than the price of the Kodak DCS series cameras.
This digital SLR body after completion of conversion on the basis of traditional cameras F5 remains attractive professional temperament.
Built-in 274-megapixel CCD, ISO sensitivity 200-1600, CF card / IBM micro hard drive as the storage medium, Supported file formats include JPEG, TIFF, RAW three, priced at 5580 U.S. dollars, still appears to view today expensive.
==========================
[September 2001]
7. [Canon EOS 1D] - Canon Digital SLR myth
To completely beyond the myth created by Nikon D1, Canon launched in September 2001, dedicated to the rapid shooting purpose EOS 1D full pressure over the speed and technical indicators Nikon D1, the achievements of the new generation of DC industry legend.
This digital SLR has a resolution of 400 million pixels ISO sensitivity 100-1600, CF card / IBM micro hard disk as a storage medium, priced at about $ 7,000.
==========================
[December 2003]
8 [Olympus E-1] - 4/3 system masterpiece
In December 2003, Olympus released Kodak, Fuji two companies jointly developed the "4/3 system" E-1.
4/3 system provides the distance between the CCD photosensitive area of ??the device, the CCD and lens and lens diameter, therefore, those who adopt the system digital SLR compatible lens can easily do this in previous products absolutely unthinkable.
E-1 with a 5 million pixel CCD, ISO sensitivity range 100-800 CF card as the storage medium, support JPEG, RAW, TIFF file format. The price of early release of up to 16,000 yuan.
==========================
[August 2003]
[Canon EOS 300D] - generation civilians digital SLR king
The digital SLR powerful the shooting quality beautiful, but the high price it is unable approached civilians biggest obstacle. To the successful completion of the course of the popularity of digital SLR, a number of reasonably priced civilians digital SLR finally emerged to the surface of the water, while the Canon E0S 300D undoubtedly be regarded as a forerunner on the process.
In August 2003, Canon introduced the the plastic fuselage EOS 300D It integrates the the predecessors EOS-10D usual CMOS sensor devices, priced below $ 1,000 for the first time, which completely changed the the original competitive landscape of the digital camera market .
The camera uses a 6.3 million pixel CCD, ISO sensitivity 100-1600, use CF card as the storage medium. The designs applied silver, gray and black, the overall impression is pretty good.
