Photography Blog reports:

“Kodak engineer Steven Sasson, inventor of the digital camera, has been voted into the Consumer Electronics Hall of Fame. In 1975 Sasson built a camera using solid state electronics, solid state imagers and an electronic sensor known as a charged coupled device (CCD). In 1978, he and his supervisor, Gareth A. Lloyd, were issued a U.S. patent for the first digital camera. The Consumer Electronics Hall of Fame was created in 2000 to recognize the pioneers of the CE industry and has honoured more then 110 industry leaders.”
