RCA actually did the pioneering work on the CCD years before SONY used it in the MAVICA in 1981. There are many things American companies like RCA, Kodak, etc. did that just never took off until someone else sold them. Digital cameras, video tape recorders, Color TV, Flat Screen Video devices, etc. <snip> Come to think of it, in the late 70's, National Geographic was using an RCA digital camera for underwater and night photography. Don't even ask what that must have cost!! <snip>
