Who Invented the Camera?

It is very difficult to mention the name who actually invented the camera first.

However, it can be said that although the credit for inventing the camera could not be given to any specific person, today's camera is the fruit of the labour and improvement of many people in stages.

In 1021, Iraqi scientist Ibn al-Haitham wrote a seven-volume book on optics in Arabic, entitled Kitab al-Manazir. From there, the first invention of the camera. 

The need for a lens to capture the scene was repeated here.

Johann John then designed the portable camera in 1685.

Sir Alexander Olcott (1758-1828) invented the first camera and patented it in 1840.

In 1885, George Eastman produced the paper film for his first camera, the Kodak. It was the first camera to be sold commercially.

Exactly one year later, celluloid film was introduced instead of paper film. Then do not look back.

The first Polaroid camera was invented in 1948, which made it possible to convert an image from a negative image to a positive image in just one minute.

Kodak's Steven Sasson invented the first digital camera in 1975, after a long 75-year reign of analogue cameras. This is how the camera is in the hands of people today.
