I think that the Sony CCD-V8 and CCD-M8 were the first domestic ones. I remember the CCD-M8 being demonstrated on 'Tomorrow's World' when it first came out (1985), it was of interest for having a new type of image sensor. They panned it past a candle set against a dark background; the studio camera showed a familiar green trail when doing this but the Sony one was free of this defect.

I've kept one of each of these, they are amazing pieces of work. The CCD-M8 in particular is absolutely tiny when you consider when it was made.
