History

In 1992 Apple began developing its first digital camera - the "Venus" project. During that period in the United States, over 12 billion dollars were spent annually on photography. Therefore, there was a huge market for digital photography. The QuickTake 100 digital camera was an easy-to-use digital camera with a 1 MB Flash card. By releasing a connection kit for Windows for QuickTake 150, Apple attempted to sell its digital camera to Windows users as well. Unfortunately, the QuickTake digital camera did not sell very well.
