When Was The Digital Camera Invented? (what Year)

Texas Instruments engineer Willis Adcock designed a filmless camera and applied for a patent in 1972, but it is not known whether it was ever built. The first recorded attempt at building a digital camera was in 1975 by Steven Sasson, an engineer at Eastman Kodak. It used the then-new solid-state CCD image sensor chips developed by Fairchild Semiconductor in 1973.
The camera weighed 8 pounds (3.6 kg), recorded black and white images
to a cassette tape, had a resolution of 0.01 megapixels (10,000
pixels), and took 23 seconds to capture its first image in December
1975. The prototype camera was a technical exercise, not intended for
production.
