The Kodak DCS-100 was the first DSLR camera. It was mounted on a Nikon F3 body and released by Kodak in 1991. Aimed at the photo journalism market in order to speed up the transmitting of pictures back to the studio or newsroom, the DCS 100 had a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. It came with an outer module to store and to visualize the images, and to house the batteries. It could store up to 156 images without compression on its 200 megabyte hard disk drive.
