The XapShot was a Hi-band still video camera with a ½-inch 200K pixel CCD.  ISO 100.  11mm f/2.8 lens.  Shutter 1/30 to 1/500 second.  The XapShot had a built-in flash, self-timer, and an unusual rechargeable lead acid battery.  MSRP $499.   The $499 was just for the camera itself.  Also required was a $999 kit which included one floppy disk, the battery, and computer interface card with software.  The two-inch floppy disks sold for $10 each.  The USA version of the XapShot could send a NTSC signal to a TV/VCR for playback and recording of images.  There was also a very basic software utility that worked under System 6/7 for the Mac in conjuction with the Computer Eyes NuBus video capture card that the camera connected to.  Later, a Plug-in shipped that worked with Letraset's ColorStudio and then Adobe Photoshop to capture the images.  Popular Photography.  December 1991.  p108.
