The binocular-format '''Quicktake 100''' was introduced in 1994. It has an optical viewfinder, and no viewing screen, but there is an [[LCD]] screen showing the frame number and other info. There are controls for shutter-release, flash, [[self-timer]], resolution and a recessed "Trash" ("erase whole camera") button. It has only internal [[flash memory]] - with no slots for extension, providing enough storage for a mere eight photos at full [[VGA]] 640x480 resolution, or 32 at 320x240. Images are stored in Apple's own QuickTake or PICT formats.

The '''Quicktake 200''' was a more conventionally-shaped camera, to current eyes, having a compact-camera outline, a 1.8-inch [[LCD]] viewing screen on the back, a mode dial and a [[SmartMedia]] memory card slot (along with 2Mb of internal memory). There was no built-in optical viewfinder, but there was a clip-on accessory optical finder.

Apple Computer produced some of the first consumer digital cameras. The Quicktake cameras have a resolution of 640x480 pixels (i.e. VGA computer screen size), with a colour depth of 24 bits. They were designed to connect to an Apple Macintosh computer via a V.24 serial cable (which is no longer supported by OS X, or on current Mac hardware).

The Quicktake cameras did not sell well, and were discontinued late in 1997.

Quicktake 200 (c.Feb 1997)

The Quicktake 200 is a more conventionally-shaped camera, to current eyes, having a compact-camera outline, a 1.8-inch LCD viewing screen on the back, a mode dial and a SmartMedia memory card slot (along with 2Mb of internal memory). There is no built-in optical viewfinder, but there is a clip-on accessory optical finder. The 200 was made in Japan by Fuji - as a rebadged Fuji DS-7[1] - and also sold as the Samsung Kenox SSC-350N - however, the Fuji and Samsung had the added advantage of coming with software for connection to a PC as well as a Macintosh[2]. The resolution is still 640x480, but the 200 can use TIFF, BMP, PCX, JPEG and QuickTake file formats, and has an NTSC video output. It is powered by four AA batteries.
