Chris and Boris from the (highly recommended) Happy Shooting Podcast are currently at Photokina and have an (link : http://www.happyshooting.de/podcast/2008/09/26/101-photokina-2008-steven-sasson/ text: Interview with Steven Sasson).
In December 1975, Sasson developed the first digital camera with his developments for Kodak, a rather bulky device with a resolution of, believe it or not, 100x100 pixels. It recorded onto digital magnetic tape. The interview lasts just over 8 minutes and offers a first insight into the rather modest beginnings of a technology that we take for granted today.
