• The history of the camera has an extensive background since it can be traced back for centuries. During the 5th Century B.C., Mo Ti of China discovers the principal idea of the camera. He noted “that the reflected light rays of an illuminated object passing through a small dark enclosure result in an inverted but exact image of the object”. • The camera obscura was an optical device, mainly used in drawings, but later it became one of the “ancestral threads leading to the invention of photography”. At first, it was just a box with a hole in one of it’s sides. This allowed for light to pass through the hole and strike a specific part of the back wall. The projection created an exact copy with a correct proportion, which an artist could just copy the image. • Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre designed the first commercially manufactured camera. It was named the Daguerreotype. It involved the coating of copper plates by mercury vapor. “The resultant plate was sensitized and exposed to produce a mirror like exact reproduction of the scene, usually a portrait.” It produced a single image, but it’s only problem was it was not reproducible. It required exposure times of 20-30 minutes. • Disposable Camera. Just like it’s name suggests, disposable cameras are only meant to be used once. It is a simple camera that already has a roll of film installed into it. Some has different functions such as focus free lenses, flash units, and or water proof. “Internally, the cameras uses a 135 film or an APS cartridge.” Some models can be recycled and re-sold once the film cartridge has been removed. • Kodak and Fujifilm invented the disposable in the mid-1980’s. • In 1995, Kodak introduced the revolutionary digital camera to the general consumers. It changed picture-capturing forever since it “captured an image electronically, without film.” It can be viewed on a small LCD screen, and than discarded or saved for printing. “Initially, a digital camera was characterized by the use of flash memory and USB or FireWire for storage and transfer of still photographs.” The cameras are rated by mega pixels. There are three types of digital cameras such as standard digital cameras, prosumer cameras, and digital single-lens reflex cameras. • It can be noted that today digital cameras has beaten out film cameras.
