Apple Quicktake 150 Pix
Browsing articles by Franny Wentzel - [previous] :: [next]If you have an older Mac with serial ports you really need to get yourself a QuickTake 100 or 150. Images come out like watercolour paintings

Franny Wentzel: 22nd Feb 2009 - 06:04 GMTThe QuickTake 100 came out in 1994, the 150 in 1995 and the 200 in 1996. The QuickTake 100 had been featured on Modern Marvels as one of the first colour consumer digital cameras made.
Looked like a set of binoculars or a canteen. Had a whopping megabyte of flash memory. The cameras didn't do very well in the marketplace and the QuickTake line was dropped in '87 along with the Newton and LaserWriter lines upon the return of Steve Jobs. Mime: 23rd Feb 2009 - 04:45 GMTI love how the flash reflects the light from the snowflakes. This reminds me of a shot I took in Sydney of a large fig that was out of focus, but the flash picked up little specks of dust that were in the focus range. I liked that photo better than the properly-focused shot I took a second or two later. Mime: 23rd Feb 2009 - 05:20 GMTIf I may spam a little more. As there is nowhere in town to get my Holga negs relatively cheaply printed and I don't know how to do it myself yet, I did a little improv and came up with this:
Basically, I set my tv to av mode (to get the blue screen) pasted a piece of paper over the screen and taped the negative to the paper. Then I took a photo with my digital camera. Jamie: 23rd Feb 2009 - 09:34 GMT@Mime I'm pretty sure thats how the professionals do it. They just use more expensive televisions, paper and tape ;-) Jamie: 23rd Feb 2009 - 09:36 GMToh and these apple quicktake photos are proper nice. i wonder if early digicams are gonna become the lomos of the future? I think i'm gonna stock up now and wait till they're selling on eBay for $200 a pop. Franny Wentzel: 23rd Feb 2009 - 10:54 GMTOne problem with the older Digicams is in having a computer that will connect to them or take their cards. I still run a Mac with serial ports and OS9 and thus can still use a QuickTake camera. The QuickTake 200 uses 5 volt SmartMedia cards which are no longer in production and which no new card readers can handle. A lot of older cameras would likely be in the same boat. Jamie: 23rd Feb 2009 - 13:04 GMTThis is sadly true. That's the trouble with modern progress. Take a 30 year old defunct russian 35mm camera, stick a roll of film in and bob's your uncle. Although it is getting more and more difficult (not to mention expensive) to get 35mm film developed these days. But yeah. Try and find a functioning computer with a serial port, or one that'll run the oddball proprietary software you used to need to get your photos off those early digital cameras. It's not easy. I have a couple of old pocket toycams that i'd love to use, but even if i knew where the mini-cd was with the device drivers on i very much doubt it would work with anything newer than Windows 95. I'm pretty sure that in the distant future archaeolgists, rather than digging up broken bits of pottery and whatnot will be busy building makeshift memory card readers whilst piecing together long defunct codecs in order to view our holiday snaps and blog posts Franny Wentzel: 23rd Feb 2009 - 20:14 GMTMethinks they'll be more interested in recovering our vast storehouses of pr0n... Jamie: 24th Feb 2009 - 00:21 GMTOh i'm sure they'll have their own porn in THE FUTURE. It'll be all chrome plated and futuristic future porn. Korpil: 29th Jul 2009 - 21:41 GMTWow! Those look like the kind of pictures you could take with my daughter's rugged toy camera! Franny Wentzel: 1st Aug 2009 - 12:01 GMTWelcome people from www.tuaw.com/2009/07/29/retro-apple-the-quicktake-100-digital-camera/ See above post for links to more QuickTake pictures... Alito: 1st Aug 2009 - 16:51 GMTWait a minute. You said "The QuickTake 100 came out in 1994, the 150 in 1995 and the 200 in 1996" and then said "The cameras didn't do very well in the marketplace and the QuickTake line was dropped in '87". Not nitpicking, just confused. Did you mean '97? Franny Wentzel: 1st Aug 2009 - 17:47 GMTI didn't even notice that till you mentioned it. Damn this dilsexya... Yeah, 1997 was when the line was dropped... Comment on this article..Browsing articles by Franny Wentzel - [previous] :: [next] |
