The camera came in increments ... light (lens):
4th - 5th Centuries B.C. - Chinese and Greek philosophers describe the basic principles of optics and the camera.
1664 - 1666 - Isaac Newton discovered that white light is composed of different colors.
1727 - Johann Heinrich Schulze discovered that silver nitrate darkened upon exposure to light.
1794 - First Panorama opens, the forerunner of the movie house invented by Robert Barker.
1814 - Joseph Nicephore Niepce achieves first photographic image with camera obscura. However, the image required 8 hours of light exposure and later faded.
1837 - Daguerr'es first dauerroetype, the first image that was fixed and did not fade and needed under 30 minutes of light exposure.
1840 - First American patent issued in photography to Alexander Wolcott for his camera.
1841 - William Henry Talbot patents the Calotype process - the first negative-positive process making possible the first multiple copies.
1843 - First advertisement with a photograph made in Philadelphia.
1851 - Frederick Scott Archer invented the Collodion process - images required only 2 - 3 seconds of light exposure.
1859 - Panoramic camera patented - the Sutton
1861 - Oliver Wendell Holmes invents stereoscope viewer.
1865 - Photographs and photographic negatives are added to protected works under copyright.
1871 - Richard Leach Maddox invented the gelatin dry plate silver bromide process - negatives no longer had to be developed immediately.
1880 - Eastman Dry Plate Company founded.
1884 - Eastman invents flexible, paper-based photographic film.
1888 - Eastman patents Kodak roll-film camera.
1898 - Reverend Hannibal Goodwin patents celluloid photographic film.
1900 - First mass-marketed camera - the Brownie.
1913/1914 - First 35 mm still camera developed.

- In 1839 by Jon Bradford Eagle
- Actually, the word "Camera" comes from the Arabic word "Kamra" which means "Dark room". The Camera was invented by a Muslim Astronomer/Physicist/Mathematician Alhazen. Europeans have taken a lot of inventions by Muslim scientists and called them their own. the camera is one of many.
- The above 'Muslim-Centric' poster needs to check their facts. Alhazen did NOT invent the actual camera, he was merely a mathmetician and a comsmetician that copied scientific texts to enhance his income when he lived in Cairo. He took other discoveries and copied them for his own monetary gains. He did do an essay on Optics but his essay had nothing to do with the physical invention of the modern Camera. The term 'Camera' is derived from the latin words 'Camera Obscura'. The word you mention (which you did not spell correctly) 'Kamara' means 'Vaulted Chamber', not 'Dark Room' as you so incorrectly stated. Please check your facts before you post your incorrect and obviously one sided views. As for Europeans taking a lot from Muslims, you need to understand that many discoveries in this world were taught and handed down to others and expanded upon. It is that idea of SHARING that makes this modern world a fun place to live. Please do not disparage the rest of the world with your racist isolationist beliefs. Something that benefits all mankind should be shared, not greedily kept 'yours'.
- To the best of my knowledge the negative / positive photographic process was first pioneered in England by an inventor called William Fox Talbot (1800 - 1877) in a abbey called Lacock.
- Did you also know that to this day filmmakers can't resolve the problem of car or wagon wheels going backwards in a movie? Next time you watch a movie, take a close look at the car's wheels.
- This backwards wheel effect might be due to the limits of the film (modern films are 24 frames a second, earlier films were less) producing this effect on your eye. I believe the human eye can process 28 frames per second but this discrepancy on film might be due to the slower rate. It also does this on propellers of airplanes in films.
