subject: Who Invented Camera [print this page] Most if not all of us have cameras at homeMost if not all of us have cameras at home. We use them to capture our favorite moments with relations and friends. Nevertheless, have you ever stopped to think who invented the digital camera? In all probability not. It's not clear who precisely invented the camera. According to web analysis, there are distinct versions of camera inventions. The camera obscura is claimed to have been the first camera to be invented. Ibn al-Haythem, an Iraqi scientist, is the man stated to have been behind this invention. Unlike trendy cameras, the obscura camera didn't really take pictures. It simply made object photographs on paper and glass.
It's understood that Ibn al-Haytham, the man who invented the camera was certainly gifted. Another gifted man by the name Daniello Barbaro adjusted the camera obscura. He added a lens as well as a changeable opening with the intention of sharpening the cameras. All this time the camera was not portable. It's because it was constructed from heavy material. It could not be fitted into a bag or the pocket, which is possible with most trendy cameras. It was not till the 1660s that the first moveable digital camera was invented.
So who invented the camera that one could carry from place to place? The reply, two people by the names Robert Boyle and Robert Hooke. They were English scientists. They most likely simply got frustrated with being unable to take their camera along to capture necessary scientific images. Every other digital camera that has been manufactured since then has been portable. It would be correct to state that had the moveable camera not been invented photography as we all know it today would be non-existent. You'd be caught with mundane portraits of yourself, as it could be inconceivable to capture your surroundings with heavy stationary cameras.
In 1685, yet another moveable camera was invented. This time Johann Zhan invented the camera. What was distinctive about this camera is that it was more sophisticated and was adequate for normal photographs. It might be argued that people found what a beautiful piece of equipment the camera was because in 1724, Vincent Chavalier invented a new camera. This was a sliding wood-box camera. It's what Johann Heinrich Schultz used to take an image in 1826. The primary camera, which could take color pictures, was also invented in the 1800s.
You should respect the individuals who invented the camera because with out them, you would not know or have the digital camera. The digital camera was invented by Steven Sasson an electrical engineer. The digital camera, which is what most people use to day to take photographs of themselves and others, works by converting an image into an digital impulse and storing it in sensors which are light sensitive. Unlike earlier innovations, the digital camera allows you to not only capture photographs but additionally share them with others. It allows you to view the pictures that you take instantly, make changes and delete those that you do not like.
