History Of Camera:
The first camera that was small and portable enough to be
practical for photography was built by Johann Zahn in 1685, though it would
be almost 150 years before such an application was possible.
The first partially successful photograph of a camera image was made in
approximately 1816 by Nicéphore Niépce. Later, in 1826, he used a sliding wooden
box camera made by Charles and Vincent Chevalier in Paris, France. He made his first
permanent camera photograph in 1826.

Digital cameras:
Digital cameras differ from their analog predecessors primarily in that they do not use film, but capture and save photographs on digital memory cards or internal storage instead. Their low operating costs have relegated chemical cameras to niche markets. Digital cameras now include wireless communication capabilities (for example Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) to transfer, print or share photos, and are commonly found on mobile phones.
