Sony demonstrates the Sony Mavica – the world’s first digital electronic still camera. Digital photography and television images are related to the same technology, so this camera recorded images into a mini disk and then put them into a video reader. Images could be displayed to a television monitor or color printer. Fuji introduced the disposable camera. The inventors also call this device “single- use cameras”.

Kodak released the first professional digital camera system (DCS) which was of a great use for photojournalists. It was a modified Nikon F- 3 camera with a 1.

You can find other facts about camers here. Update. One of the more popular articles here at Photodoto is our illustrated timeline of camera history.

It’s a nice article hitting all of the highlights and major technological advancements within the history of photography. The timeline stops at the year 2.

Since it’s been 1. Cell Phone Cameras. For some weird reason, someone at Japan’s Sharp Corporation decided to make a cell phone with a camera built in. Despite its seeming randomness, this combination worked well. These days, it’s hard to imagine a cell phone without a camera. They’re everywhere. So what advances have these tiny cameras made during their short history?

Sony Ericsson S7. Andrew Butko, Wikimedia Commons. By 2. 00. 5, consumers proved to love having cameras built in to their phones, so manufacturers starting racing against one another to produce the best, smallest cameras they could. Enter the Sony Ericsson S7.

The S7. 50 was the first camera phone to feature autofocus (not counting Samsung’s ridiculous SCH- V7. MP sensor. This phone helped fuel an arms race of sorts between Sony Ericsson and Nokia, and probably every other cell phone manufacturer at the time. Samsung M8. 91. 0Somewhere along the way during this camera phone war, companies started really upping their games. Samsung launched a major salvo in this war with the release of the M8. It marked phone camera megapixel counts moving into double- digits with its 1.

MP sensor. The M8. Nokia Lumia 1. 02. In 2. 01. 3, Nokia released the camera phone equivalent of a mic drop, the Lumia 1. This phone features a 4. MP sensor, which was larger than any prosumer- level DSLR available. The 1. 02. 0 also featured a Carl Zeiss lens, image stabilization, and Pur.

View Pro technology, which enables lossless digital zoom. These cameras didn’t represent the average quality of cameras built into phones during this time, but they have served to motivate manufacturers to improve overall camera quality across the board. Mirrorless Cameras.

If you’re not familiar with mirrorless cameras, you can check out my article on them. They’re typically smaller than a consumer- level DSLR and produce images that compete with DSLRs in quality. And they’re gaining popularity, especially among traveling photographers, street photographers and photography enthusiasts who want great pictures without lugging a giant DSLR around.

Rama, Wikimedia Commons. Technically, the first mirrorless camera, the Epson RD1, made its debut in 2. But it proved to be ahead of its time, as it would be a few more years before mirrorless cameras gained a foothold in the camera market. Fujifilm Fine. Pix X1. Darren Stone, Wikimedia Commons. Fujifilm certainly didn’t make the first mirrorless camera, or even the first really popular mirrorless.

But Fuji’s Fine. Pix X1. The X1. 00 featured a wide- angle prime lens and the option to shoot with an in- body rangefinder- like viewfinder. Sony Alpha 7 Series. In 2. 01. 3, Sony made a big jump in its mirrorless camera offerings with the Alpha 7 and the Alpha 7.

R. These were the first mirrorless cameras to feature a full- frame sensor. At this point, mirrorless cameras became full- fledged contenders with prosumer- level DSLRs. Action Cameras. While action cameras and quad- rotor helicopters are mostly geared toward shooting video, these two advancements bear mentioning, simply because of how much they’ve advanced people’s ability to capture amazing images. Go. Pro HD Hero. A surfer named Nick Woodman wanted a way to capture photos while he was surfing, so he began tinkering with 3. Woodman continued to improve on his design, and in 2.

Go. Pro, released the Go. Pro HD Hero. The HD Hero marked the first rugged, waterproof camera able to capture video in 1. Since then, the Hero line of cameras has become the standard in the now- widespread market of action cameras. Light- Field Cameras. Lytro introduced the first light- field camera to the general public in 2. This camera opened up an entire world of new possibilities for photographers and audiences. The technology featured in the Lytro captures information from the subject being photographed that allows the resulting image to be refocused after it’s been taken.

What that means is when you use a Lytro, you can change the focal plane of an image by touching it (on a touchscreen display) or clicking on it with a mouse. While the Lytro and its successor, the Lytro Illum, haven’t become overwhelmingly popular with consumers yet, the technology is becoming more prevalent. Even some smartphone makers are trying to copy this effect.

The End of an Era. Some major advancements have occurred in the last 1.

But some other technologies and iconic camera equipment have disappeared. I wanted to take a look at two bits of photographic history that have come to an end. Polaroid Instant Film. In 2. 00. 8, legendary and ground- breaking company Polaroid stopped producing all of its instant films and cameras. While Polaroid pioneered instant photography, and photography in general, the company couldn’t maintain the public’s interest in instant film photography in an ever- increasing digital age. Other companies, however, have stepped in to fill the gap.

Fujifilm produces two instant cameras: the Instax Mini and the Instax Wide, as well as film to go with them. Fuji also still produces instant sheet film that can be used in older Polaroid cameras.

And then there’s the Impossible Project. This group manufactures film packs for the most popular models of Polaroid cameras.
