What digital cameras were like 20 years ago


Digital cameras have come a long way since the introduction of consumer digicams in the 1990s. One of the cameras featured in this 4-minute clip was a $20,000 device that could shoot 1.3 megapixel photos, and used a removable 131MB hard drive that could store 70 images. Wow!

Of course there were cheaper options, such as the $749 Apple QuickTake 100, which had a built-in flash, but no focus or zoom controls. The camera was capable of storing eight photos at 640×480 resolution, 32 photos at 320×240 resolution, or a mixture of both sizes. All photos were at 24-bit color.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
