The article says:
When Sony marketed the first filmless camera in 1981, a Mavica that worked 
off magnetic disks, Sasson thought: "Exciting development, wrong approach." 
It was based on television technology, "which had inherent limitations in 
image quality," he said.

So I ask - does anyone recall what was the first 'proper' digital camera 
that made it onto the mass market?
