So made the first consumer-level digital camera? Kodak had a hi-end
modified Nikon about 7 years ago, but I'm thinking the Apple QuickTake
100 is the earliest digital camera I can think of.
The earliest I can think of is the Canon Ion camera, about 1989, I think.
It used cute little 2.5" disks made by TDK and Sony. They looked like
3.5" microfloppies that had shrunk in the wash :-)
