The first working prototype of a digital camera was completed in 1975 by Steven Sassoon for Kodak.It weighed in at eight pounds, captured black and white images on a cassette tape, had a resolution of .01 megapixels and was not exactly the handiest of gadgets to cart about.It counts as the first ever digital camera although it never went into production and it would be some time before Kodak released its first digital camera commercially.
