Nikon introduced its first consumer digital camera only twelve years ago. In an October 1997 review, PC Pro Magazine naively declared, "Digital cameras may seem like a bit of a fad, given that they tend to be fairly low resolution or ridiculously expensive."  The Nikon Coolpix 100 had 0.3 megapixel resolution and stored 19 photos at that resolution! It cost around $1,000.  See it at http://www.nikonweb.com/coolpix100/
