Kodak Created the Camera That Helped Destroy Kodak

The rest of the story...

In 1975, Kodak engineer Steve Sasson created the world's first digital camera.

The prototype weighed eight pounds, recorded images to a cassette tape, and took 23 seconds to capture a photo.

Kodak patented the invention but remained focused on its highly profitable film business.

As digital photography improved, competitors moved faster.

By 2012, the technology Kodak helped create had helped push the company into bankruptcy.
