The History of Camera can be start from ancient time as the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 to 322 BCE) understood the optical principle of the pinhole camera and then later it be used for drawing and study purpose.<br />

The first photographic camera developed for commercial manufacture was a daguerreotype camera, built by Alphonse Giroux. Giroux signed a contract with Daguerre and Isidore Niépce to produce the cameras in France,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Gustavson.2C_pp._8-9_35-0"></sup>which each device and accessories costing 400 francs.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-36"></sup> The camera was a double-box design, with a landscape lens fitted to the outer box, and a holder for a ground glass
 focusing screen and image plate on the inner box. By sliding the inner 
box, objects at various distances could be brought to as sharp a focus 
as desired.<br />

The early daguerreotype cameras required long exposure times, which in 1839 could be from 5 to 30 minutes<br />
<br />
Collodion dry plates had been available since 1855, thanks to the work of Désiré van Monckhoven, but it was not until the invention of the gelatin
 dry plate in 1871 by Richard Leach Maddox that they rivaled wet plates 
in speed and quality. Also, for the first time, cameras could be made 
small enough to be hand-held, or even concealed.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1889. His first camera, which he called the "Kodak," was first offered for sale in 1888. It was a very simple box camera
 with a fixed-focus lens and single shutter speed, which along with its 
relatively low price appealed to the average consumer. The Kodak came 
pre-loaded with enough film for 100 exposures and needed to be sent back
 to the factory for processing and reloading when the roll was finished.
 By the end of the 19th century Eastman had expanded his lineup to 
several models including both box and folding cameras.<br />
In 1900, Eastman took mass-market photography one step further with the Brownie, a simple and very inexpensive box camera that introduced the concept of the snapshot. The Brownie was extremely popular and various models remained on sale until the 1960s.<br />
Film also allowed the movie camera to develop from an expensive toy to a practical commercial tool.<br />
Despite the advances in low-cost photography made possible by 
Eastman, plate cameras still offered higher-quality prints and remained 
popular well into the 20th century. To compete with rollfilm cameras, 
which offered a larger number of exposures per loading, many inexpensive
 plate cameras from this era were equipped with magazines to hold 
several plates at once. Special backs for plate cameras allowing them to
 use film packs or rollfilm were also available, as were backs that 
enabled rollfilm cameras to use plates.<br />
Except for a few special types such as Schmidt cameras, most professional astrographs continued to use plates until the end of the 20th century when electronic photography replaced them.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Oskar Barnack, who was in charge of research and development at Leitz, decided to investigate using 35 mm cine film for still cameras while attempting to build a compact camera
 capable of making high-quality enlargements. He built his prototype 
35 mm camera (Ur-Leica) around 1913, though further development was 
delayed for several years by World War I. Leitz test-marketed the design
 between 1923 and 1924, receiving enough positive feedback that the 
camera was put into production as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leica_Camera" title="Leica Camera"></a></blockquote>

<b>TLRs and SLRs</b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The first practical reflex camera was the Franke & Heidecke Rolleiflex medium format <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-lens_reflex_camera" title="Twin-lens reflex camera">TLR</a>
 of 1928. Though both single- and twin-lens reflex cameras had been 
available for decades, they were too bulky to achieve much popularity. 
The Rolleiflex, however, was sufficiently compact to achieve widespread 
popularity and the medium-format TLR design became popular for both 
high- and low-end cameras.<br />
A similar revolution in SLR design began in 1933 with the introduction of the Ihagee Exakta, a compact SLR which used 127
 rollfilm. This was followed three years later by the first Western SLR 
to use 35mm film, the Kine Exakta (World's first true 35mm SLR was Soviet "Sport" camera,
 marketed several months before Kine Exakta, though "Sport" used its own
 film cartridge). The 35mm SLR design gained immediate popularity and 
there was an explosion of new models and innovative features after World
 War II. There were also a few 35mm TLRs, the best-known of which was 
the Contaflex of 1935, but for the most part these met with little success.</blockquote>

The first major post-war SLR innovation was the eye-level viewfinder, which first appeared on the Hungarian Duflex in 1947 and was refined in 1948 with the Contax S, the first camera to use a pentaprism.
 Prior to this, all SLRs were equipped with waist-level focusing 
screens. The Duflex was also the first SLR with an instant-return 
mirror, which prevented the viewfinder from being blacked out after each
 exposure. This same time period also saw the introduction of the Hasselblad 1600F, which set the standard for medium format SLRs for decades.</blockquote>
