For me, the QuickTake was my introduction to digital photography. I took hundreds of photos of my family and developed my interest in panoramic photography and QuicktimeVR using the QuickTake and a special tripod head for panoramic imagery produced by Kaidan. I had two QuickTake cameras, the 100 and 150 (I still have both in 2024 although I have not used either for many years since they require an Apple Desktop Bus cable and a computer with an ADB port. The last Macintosh with an ADB port was the PowerMac G3, produced in 1999.
