Depending on what makes a digital camera "proper," I think it actually 
would be Apple's QuickTake 100. It was introduced in May 1994 and could 
take all of eight VGA-resolution (640x480) pictures before they had to 
be uploaded to either a Mac or a PC. Here's a link to the Consumer 
Electronics Association page on digital cameras (page is cached on 
Google's site; it's no longer there on the CEA site).
