So far, digital photo devices have not been very successful, for two reasons. On the one hand, they do not have enough quality for professionals, and on the other, they are too expensive gadgets for the common photographer. The “Quicktake 100” machine launched by Apple in collaboration with Kodak we don’t know if it will solve the problem. The device will cost about 125,000 pesetas (5,000 pounds) and on the computer screen you get a very good quality image. However, the paper image is more expensive than conventional photos.
However, the Quicktake machine offers an eye to the Macintosh computer and allows you to insert into the text the images you take.
On the other hand, the Fujitsu house is about to publish its numerical photo machine. With built-in zoom and a resolution of 26 million colors of 390,000 points. It is capable of taking 10-40 photos on PCMCIA card. The price of this machine is the main obstacle: 750,000 sts. or about 30,000 pounds.
