QuickTake 150
Released in 1996, QuickTake 150 was one of Apple's final digital cameras before exiting the photography market. An evolution of the original QuickTake 100, it retained the same compact and user-friendly design while adding improved image processing and compatibility with both Mac and Windows systems. Designed for simplicity, the QuickTake 150 allowed users to capture up to 16 images at a resolution of 640x480 pixels. While the QuickTake series was short-lived, it showcased Apple’s early interest in digital imaging, paving the way for future advancements in mobile photography.
