The Fujix DS-1P is often described as the world's first true digital camera (earlier still-video cameras such as Sony's Mavica series had stored images electronically, but in analogue form). A preproduction model appeared at the 1988 Photokina show in Cologne, West Germany[1], as the Card Camera. It contained a 400 kilopixel CCD and saved photographs to removable Toshiba SRAM cards. In the initial version, card capacity was only 10 images.
Like other early Fuji digital cameras, it is marked Fujix instead of Fuji, FujiFilm or Fujica, but has come to be known as the Fuji DS-1P. It measures (w×h×d) 105×75×50 mm and weighs 400 g.
