Not for the first time (but the first time I've been able to discover where I remembered the quote from), I'm reminded of this:
Quote:
Red heard an electronic whistle as the liquid crystal shutter activated and then a chitter as the microprocessor loaded the bits into a mass memory. It cost Electropix an extra few dollars to bridge a piezoelectric disk across the data bus so the customer would know that the picture was taken and stored, but it was those little touches that kept Electropix at the top of the heap.

Can I just say: 1982.
