The Evolution of the Camera




By Amanda White

Cameras have come a long way since they were first invented in 1827. During 1827, Joseph Nicephore obtained the first fixed image which led to hundreds of years of ever-changing cameras and photos. There are many types of cameras currently on the market, but there wasn't always a number of cameras to choose from. Below you will find a timeline of specific events, which have occurred throughout the years, which have contributed to the evolution of cameras and photography:

1837 - Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre teamed up with Joseph Nicephore to develop the first permanent photograph. This was a crucial starting point in the history of the camera.

1850 – By 1850, Daguerre had produced over 70 photo studios in New York City alone.

Early 1940's – In the early 1940's the first color photographs were produced. Cameras which produced color photos using a number of dye-related mechanisms were introduced and grabbed the attention of individuals all over the world.

1948 – In 1948 the first Polaroid camera was sold to the public. Polaroid cameras are cameras which have the ability to instantly produce a photograph. This was the first type of camera of its kind and was an innovation which was unlike any other.

1960 – In 1960 the first underwater camera was introduced. This type of camera was originally produced for the U.S Navy, but has become a very popular type of camera for many underwater lovers. They are used worldwide for families on vacations as well as individuals who study underwater creatures or SCUBA dive.

1986 – Disposable cameras were first introduced and became very popular, very quickly. Disposable cameras can be purchased for a very low price and are thrown away after the roll of film is produced. The materials from those cameras are then recycled and used to make other cameras of the same style.

1981 – The first digital camera was produced in 1981 and is the most recent addition to the world of cameras. Digital cameras provide more features than any other camera ever produced. These have home printing options, video options and provide you the opportunity to delete photos which you do not want printed. Digital cameras hold photos on a memory card, which allows one camera to hold over a hundred photos. These have become increasingly popular over the past few years.

There's no doubt that the evolution of cameras will continue to evolve for many years to come. Photos can last a lifetime and are a great way to remember the most important moments in our lives. There's no way to tell what's going to further enhance these cameras, but whatever it is, it will likely add to the already amazing features these items hold.
