Camera



1826 was the year of the very first snap shot or photograph which was in France. Jacques Daguerre improved the idea 12 years after the first photo. His camera was a box with a lens pocking out. Inside the box was a copper plate coated with silver.

George Eastman (an American) invented a small hand held camera. It had celluloid roll of film rather than a plate. After that in 1900 the Eastman Kodak Company made a box camera called a brownie. 1920-1940 better cameras have been made in Germany but they had expensive lenses.
Mostly people now use cameras from Japan.
