The first digital camera to be widely marketed to consumers was the Apple QuickTake 100. It held 8 images at resolution 640 x 480, was fixed-focus, connected only to a Mac (and it didn't have media cards--you had to connect the camera to a computer to get the pictures off), and cost $750. The reaction was very simple: "You want $750 for THAT? No freakin' way!"
On the professional side, we had Better Light backs for view cameras. They cost $35,000 and had to be tethered to a computer in use. They were also "scanning" backs. Imagine taking a small flatbed scanner, that has to make three scans--one each for red, green and blue parts of the image--and putting it on your bellows camera in place of a film holder. Better Light is still in business and still makes these backs, but they're not as expensive now and the new ones scan all three channels in one pass.

Why is it that photography can be called either an invention or a discovery?
Because they discovered that certain chemicals mixed with each other placed on certain media can create a copy of what's in front of that certain media, but they had to invent a whole series of machinery to perfect this chemical reaction to the point where it is actually called photography, and the product, a photograph. Hope this helped.
