Early cameras of the 16th and 17th centuries, were able to project images onto paper or glass but the study of the prevalence, treatment and printing photos taken many more years. Until the 17th century, scientists believed that light was in fact the "white" as perceived by the human eye is built. That is why the research done by famous physicist Isaac Newton discovered that light is actually composed of a spectrum of colors. While he is a great contribution to the study publishedoptics (which is the core of camera advances) with this discovery, Newton did not really have anything to do with the development of the camera itself.

Beginning of the first camera, a phenomenon that was little more than a pinhole camera and goes back to 1558 and 'was called the Camera Obscura. Camera Obscura was as a tool to draw a clear and realistic representation of objects. E 'was the beginning of the 19th century that an invention called the camera lucida was introduced byCambridge scientist William Hyde Wollaston that consisted of an optical device that can help an artist view a distant scene or person or object on a surface of paper that he or she uses to draw. In other words, getting the artist to see how a superimposed image of a subject on paper, and this image can be effectively used for groped to sign, ask if the painting. Both the Camera Obscura and Camera Lucida to create an image that is temporary, that can be sustained is not captured on paperfor later use.

Studies, however, still very much at the end of 1800 on how to actually take the photographic material. It 'was during this period, around 1822 that French researcher Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, the first image created by using paper with a chemical dust covers. The image will not remain permanently on paper and that disappears after a short period of time. Yet, despite the brief nature of the image, the concept of photography was born with this experiment andpaved the way for the study and development in this area.

Capture images to keep them longer and permanently became the next great search for researchers. Another Frenchman Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre partnered with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1829 to develop the process of creating permanent photographs. Joseph Niepce died in 1833, but Daguerre continued the work and succeeded in 1837, after long years of experimentation. The process of photographic recordingimages that would not have gone, introduced by Daguerre came to be known as "daguerreotype."

The word "photography" was created by scientists, draw meaning Graphie FW Sir John Herschel in 1839, and is actually derived from two Greek words "photo" meaning light and '.

A slightly more sophisticated version of the daguerreotype process called Calotype multiple copies possible using the negative and positive was available soonto. Actually it was during the 1840's that the use of photographic images in advertising began and the cameras have left their mark on the power of visual communication. E 'was only much later, in 1850, that photographers began experimenting with underwater photography of marine.

Until 1850, the process of taking pictures burdensome to require hours and a half of exposure to light. The discovery made in 1851 by Frederick Scott Archer was a blessing becauseThe new method, called collodion process known only 2-3 seconds of light exposure to capture the image.

Before 1871, the photographer has gone through an evolutionary process, where they had to coat the plate with wet chemical each time, and to process the image immediately. With the invention of dry plate process gelatin silver bromide by Richard Leach Maddox, negatives can not easily be developed. It 'was an important finding because until then the prisonerThe image must be treated immediately.

Kodak created in 1888 by George Eastman is a kind of modern pioneer in cameras and photography to the masses. George Eastman and the scientists who worked with him at Kodak developed the photographic film in 1889 and make it available in rolls for use of the mass of consumers. An important stage in our history of entertainment and communication has been the development of cling film, roll of Eastman. This development has led to another keyInvention – Motion Picture camera by Thomas Edison in 1891.

-> Modern Times

In the 20th century, the pace of technology development in cameras and photography at an accelerated pace, as many other important technological developments. While some key inventions like car, telephone and gramophone record happened in the second half of the 19th century, the last 100 years, which have great development work in many areas of communication andas in other industries – TV, airplanes, computers, digital technology, digital cameras, cell phones, fax and internet, to name a few.

In the case of the camera, the development of a simplification of the whole process of photography, which makes it accessible to one and all at affordable prices, and the camera industry of our time residents have a mass phenomenon. The first mass use camera became available in the early 20th century and dates back to 1900, discovered.There are hundreds of camera models available today, both for amateurs and professionals, and the camera is an important part of the repertoire of every family must gadgets.

-> 20th century chronology in the history of the camera:

1913: 35 mm still camera created

1927: The flash bulb from General Electric Co. has introduced (The concept of built-in flash is very common, but it was about using a flash light powder of German inventor of the soilresearchers)

1935 – 1941: Kodak starts marketing Kodachrome film and subsequently launches Kodacolor negative. Cannon released Hansa Canon in 1936, the first 35 millimeters camera shutter closes.

1948: The concept of Polaroid camera is introduced into the market. American scientist Edwin Land developed the process for instant photography. Later Polaroid Corporation developed "instant color film 'for 1963

1957: France, Jacques Yves Cousteau, inventor ofthe first waterproof 35mm camera for underwater photography named the Calypso Phot. The camera is the real aircraft technicians Belgian designer Jean de Wouters, on the basis of the plan and suggestions given Cousteau developed.

1972: The electronic camera that does not require the film is made and patented by Texas Instruments. It is not the same as a digital camera, even if you do not need film in digital cameras are not so good. The launch of digital cameramany years away.

1975: Kodak's experiments with digital images has given the go-around in the mid-seventies, but it is still 20 years before a digital camera for the home consumer market is launched.

1978 – 1980: Asian players like Konica and Sony begin to make their mark. The point and shoot 'automatic focus camera is launched by Konica while Sony starts talking about the camera and make a prototype.

1981: Sony launches a commercially availableelectronic camera. Corresponding to the 1972 invention by Texas Instruments, Sony electronic camera came with a mini-CD, where the images are recorded and stored. The recorded images can not be printed or displayed on a monitor using a reader device.

1985: Digital processing technology makes its entry. Digital imaging and processing is introduced by Pixar.

1986: The camera operates more consumer focused and taps the fun and travel connotations behind cameraused, with the introduction of the concept of common use, disposable cameras. Fuji is credited with the development of this project.

Also in 1986 – 1987, Kodak started taking giant strides in the development of digital. Digital resources, the photographic image is divided into small units of dots or squares known as pixels. Pixels are programmable units of an image processing computer. Each image can be made up of millions of pixels. The use of pixels in digital technologystore large volumes of pixels can provide a print-quality high-definition.

1990: Kodak introduces Photo CD. This is a system of storing photographic images on a CD and then watch them on a computer. With the development of user-friendly approach of the camera industry began to take shape.

1991: Kodak has a digital camera targeted at professionals and journalists. Kodak is credited with the invention of a technology-based pixel camera known to us ascamera. Digital cameras do not use film similar to its predecessor, the electronic cameras, but the method of preservation is very different and the last image is of a much higher resolution. In one of the digital camera images are recorded and stored in digital form. These digital data to the computer and 'transferred and prepared for printing. Kodak and Canon digital cameras are renowned manufacturers and there are also many other important information as well.

1994: Apple QuickTakecamera, a home use digital camera is launched. This is followed by the launch of a clutch of home use digital cameras from Casio, Kodak and others in quick succession during 1995 – '96.

-> The digital age

The development of digital camera technology is considered to be related to the development of television and video technology. The principles of transfer and recording of audio-visual digital images with electrical pulses applied in imaging camera as well.

Through1990 is the continuous development of the technology of the camera, the focus now shifted to the field of digital images, which is our future. User-friendly features like software to upload digital images directly from camera to your home computer for storing and sharing on the Internet is the new standard in the market.

Camera, computer, the software industry and the web throughout the world is now irrevocably together to enable users to experience the benefits ofcamera used to their full potential. The innovation that has enabled many an invention in the camera industry found its way into the digital world as well and continued among digital camera manufacturers. During 2001, the partnership has Kodak and Microsoft, the manufacturers of digital cameras in the power of Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) has been used by Windows standards. The experience of digital photography is a key visual in the Internet. Many models of digital cameras with Kodak EasySharecapacity is compatible with Windows XP. Kodak EasyShare software enables users to upload digital photos directly from camera to computer and then print photos or even their e-mail.

Producers in an area where the printing industry have adapted their products to be in harmony with the images created by digital cameras. Mobile phone manufacturers have tied up with a digital camera manufacturers to develop new age camera phones in recent years. TheseCamera phones can share photos and images via mobile phone to capture.

During the 21 century digital developments are the offers made by manufacturers of digital cameras and is certainly feature prominently in the subsequent history of development of the camera. For example, / Kodak Professional DCS Pro SLR c is a high-digital camera and a website calling for an end of the Kodak DCS Pro SLR models the most feature-rich digital cameras on the market. Has a photosensor that can handle 13.89 million pixels, making it the highest resolution digital camera available. High resolution determines the sharpness or level of detail in photographic images. This is just a taste of the capabilities that digital technology places the user's hands. Digital camera sales figures for 2003 show that the two key players Kodak and Canon have recorded impressive growth.

-> What does the future hold for camera users?

Functionsoffered by digital cameras can be quite astounding for the average user and pretty exciting for professionals anymore. Four key ongoing camera developments that could further improve the process of photography:

1. High resolution even the most simple, low cost camera models

2. Use any lighting condition,

3. Compatibility with a range of software, hardware and image types

4. Fantastic colors and tone

While the high-end digital evolutioncontinues, the price of the camera to such an extent that even children and teenagers are the proud owners of uncomplicated cameras. The camera and photography interest starts young and this creates a really large audience base for the industry of the camera.

And by history, it is clear that the efforts of researchers and developers are not the entity is available for most of society. Without the technology of the camera and photograph the development of other importantfilm and television have been delayed and what a boring place the world would be without TV and movies!
