Thanks for posting that.
I think something has to be clarified there. The called it
"the world’s first digital camera."
I suspect, it should be "a the world's first self-contained camera".
The famous picture (circa 1974) of Boyle and Smith, the inventors of CCD
(1969, Nobel Prize 2009), Smith and Boyle,
http://www.businessinsider.com/digital-photography-revolution-2015-4
pictures them with a digital camera.
(It probably didn't have "recording" portion, but you still call a CCTV camera
- a camera.)
BTW, the same inventors had a self-contained camera built too:

(See Fig. 13)
Unfortunately, that article doesn't mention when they did that.
You might notice in this article a "picturephone". :-)
Cheers,
Igor
