A few of us know that FujiFilm is a pioneer of film technology, but not that is the company that developed the world´s first digital camera.......with memory card.

In 1988 at the Photokina trade fair in Germany, Fujifilm announced the FUJIX DS-1P, the world’s first camera to save data to a semiconductor memory card. Taken for granted today, this method of storage was revolutionary for its time and was a Fujifilm original. With its then-impressive 2 megabytes of SRAM, the semiconductor memory card could hold 5 to 10 photographs’ worth of data. - explain Fujifilm on their website -

If you like their cameras and lenses, this video will help you understand a little bit more why they are a successful company and the philosophy behind their products.

I have not a FujiFilm camera.....yet, but it is an object of desire. One day, sure.
