In a story that's been all over the AP, you can read about the history of Kodak's digital camera development, which started with an 8 pound .01 megapixel model that recorded on magnetic tape back in 1975. It's pretty interesting reading, and there's a cool picture (at right) of the 1975 model along with the inventor, Steven Sasson.
