[2][3][4] DigitaOS debuted with the Kodak DC220 and DC260 on 20 May 1998;[5] both cameras were equipped with PowerPC 800 processors and USB interfaces.

[8] DigitaOS was notable for its ability to run third-party software,[9] a concept that was not again realized until the release of various Android based digital cameras in the early 2010s.

[17] Additionally, DigitaOS handled the GUI presented to the user and basic camera functionality.

Examples of functions provided by scripts included in-camera image database and document generation, in-camera image editing, and custom logo / watermark and/or date imprinting.

[14] Digita File allowed the user to rename and copy image and system files on the camera, while Digita Presents was able to output a slideshow with audio and transition effects.
