Love how the first prototype digital camera had a cassette deck mounted to its side

@thomasfuchs it's beautiful. I like that it has a pull-focus handle (I assume that's what the lever is). They were thinking ahead to digital cinema cameras.

@thomasfuchs also reminded me that it was invented at Kodak! They could have ruled the digital camera revolution, but the innovator's dilemma killed them.

@swelljoe for while they did rule digital… but then the Japanese ate their lunch in the professional market (and increasingly with consumers) and later they didn’t stand a chance against smartphones
