I paid 50$ for a first ever GoPro - Here is an amazing story behind it.

In 2004, the camera manufacturing company GoPro sold its first camera system which used 35 mm film. Described as a "reusable wrist camera", it could pivot "on the fly" and be functional to a depth in water of about 15 feet (5m). Digital still and video cameras were later introduced.
