According to the history of cameras, the first camera ever developed was called camera obscura later developed into daguerreotypes, calotypes, dry plates, film, and digital cameras. An Arab person named Ibn al-Haytham was the first ever person who created the camera. He published his Book of Optics in 1021 AD. He produced the first pinhole camera after observing how light travelled through a window shutter. He realized that smaller holes would create sharper images. He is also credited with inventing the first camera obscura. Camera obscura uses a pinhole or lens to project an image of the actual scene upside down onto a viewing surface. Camera obscura lead into the development of the first photographic camera. Pinhole cameras like the Camera

Nearly in 1960s, cameras equipped with light meters and automatic exposure systems became increasingly widespread. The next technological advance came in 1960, when the German Mec 16 SB sub miniature became the first camera to that placed light meter behind the lens for accurate metering. Somehow, through-the-lens metering ultimately became a feature more often found on SLRs than other cameras; the first SLR with a TTL system was the Topcon RE Super of 1962. Digital cameras capture and save photographs on digital memory cards or internal storage instead. Digital cameras now include wireless communication capabilities to transfer, print or share photos, and are found on mobile phones. Handheld electronic cameras, meant to be carried and used like a handheld film camera appeared in 1981. The first analogue electronic camera exposed to consumers in 1981. The first true portable digital camera that recorded images as a computerized file was the Fuji DS-1P of 1988, which recorded to a 2 MB SRAM memory card that used a battery to keep the data in memory. The first digital camera ever sold was the Mega Vision Tesserae in
