The problem of tiny screens in the first decade of the digital camera.
Since the 90s, the digital camera has entered our lives as a unique, practical product that no one had experienced before. Despite the 640×480 image size and very simple design of the first cameras, their innovative capabilities were admirable.
In 1998, the first screened bodies were produced in the DSLR category. Announced were Kodak DCS520 with a 1.8″ screen, the Kodak DCS560 with a 2″, and the Kodak DCS315 with a 1.8″ screen. Models were designed in accordance with the needs of different consumer groups determined by research. In order to emphasize the “new and innovative” perception of each new model, new developments and technical features were added to the predecessor model.
