All this talk about 'iCamera'
Hey, kind of new here, but the other day I found somethings I had never seen before...
and
I had never seen the before, and I like 'em alot. Apple made a camera I guess. I think this would increase the chance of a new iCamera. What do you guys think? Anyone owned one?

Anyways, couldn't you have posted those pics in the ongoing exsisting iCamera thread as opposed to starting a new one?
The Quicktake 150, the lower one, was quite groundbreaking for it's time. The one on top, the Quicktake 250 was a little more... middle of the road. It was actually made by fuji, and rebranded by apple with some rather... craptacular image capture software.
I did love the 250, though, it was lots of fun to use.
lol... are they "real" ... he he he...
I'm getting all nostalgic now...
ciao,
michael
decent little camera back in the day but certainly wasn't cheap.
I once dropped it at a yankee game and it broke. this is like 2 years ago. I called up Apple and they actually replaced it. Who knew they still had QT250s in stock
I don't remember how much the 150 was...
ciao,
michael

Blurb (by theapplemuseum): In 1992 Apple started to develope its first digital camera - the "Venus" project. The QuickTake was an easy-to-use digital camera with a 1 MB Flash-card.
By releasing a conncetion-kit for Windows for QuickTake 150 Apple tried to sell its digital camera to Wintel users as well. Unfortunatly the QuickTake digital camera did not sell very well. The improved QuickTake 200 with LCD-display did not rise the sale numbers. Therefore Apple discontinued the QuickTake cameras in 1996.

Jonathan was hanging out in the OrangeInsider IRC channel a few days before MacWorld, and he was telling us all that AI's "sources" said there were going to be some FireWire still/video cameras from Apple, they were going to be the big announcement, he was so sure, they'll be great, etc etc.
Shithead
Watch, before I can post this, the thread will be locked (since we're not exactly talking FUTURE hardware).
you take digital pictures which are stored on the units internal 5 gig hard drive. to review your images, use the ipod's thumb wheel and simply scroll through them on a color LCD screen complete with the ipod's clicking sound. when you're ready, download them directly into iphoto via firewire.
forget expensive memorycards...forget expensive card readers..all you need is the gizmo and a macintosh.
:cool:
Apple could do it way better, for sure, and being FireWire-based, auto-charging, really cool-looking, small and light (actually it might not be that small, after all is said and done..), and of course integrated with iPhoto/iMovie, would all be quite cool. However, and come on now, you know if it had a fairly decent lens and CCD in it, with a little LCD display in the back or whatever, that it would cost at LEAST $599. And $200 more for a halfway decent whole camera apparatus tacked onto an iPod is unbelievably conservative. I could see it even going upwards of $899...
