History of digital cameras

Technology digital camera is directly related to and evolved from the same technology as the function to record the pictures on television. In 1951, the first video tape recorder (VTR) to take a picture of a television camera. Then convert that information into an electrical impulse (digital) and storing that information into the magnetic tape.

Bing Crosby laboratories (the research team funded by an engineer named Vrosby and led by John Mullin) made an early version of the VTR. In 1956, VTR technology was perfected (the VR1000 made by Charles P Ginsburg and the Ampex Corporation) and is commonly used by the television industry. Between television/video cameras and digital cameras that use CCD (Charged Couple Device) to adjust color and light intensity. During that time, the era digital camera has begun with a very rapidly.

In 1981, Sony introduced the first commercial electronic camera, called Mavica them images are recorded onto a mini disc and then put into a video reader connected to a monitor or television color. Although not yet able to say Mavica digital camera, it was actually a modification of a video camera that takes pictures spontaneously.

Since the mid-1970s, Kodak has a few discoveries about solid-state to change the image sensor that is light to digital images for use on a professional level and household consumers. In 188, Kodak scientists for the first time in the world to introduce megapixel sensor, which sensor is capable of recording 1,4 million pixels that can produce 5x7-inch digital photo print quality at that time. In 1987, Kodak released seven products for recording, storing, manipulating, electronic tranmission, and print something like the image of an object.

In `1990, Kodak developed a system of photo CDs, and suggested the first time in the world to establish digital color standards in the computer environment and computer peripherals. In 1991, Kodak released the first time for professionals, a system in shooting Digital Camera System (DCS), which target photo journalist. The camera is a Nikon F-# which is equipped with 1,3 Megapixels sensors.

The first digital camera for the consumer market that works with your home computer via USB (Unit Serial Bus) is a QuickTake 100 camera Aplle (February 17, 1994), the Kodak DC40 camera (28 March 1995), Casio qv-11 (with LCD monitor. late 1995), and the Sony Cyber-Shot Digital Still Camera (1996). However, kodak era with an aggressive marketing campaign to promote the DC40 and helped introduce the idea of digital photography to the public.

Kinko's and Microsoft's collaboration with Kodak Digital to create digital images using the software in various places of works and photo booth, which allowed customers to produce photo CDs. digital images, and then can add to their computer documents. IBM works with Internet-based Kodak make image exchange network.

Hewlett-Packard (HP) is the first company in terms of a color in their products are inkjet printer, so the coloring system to complement the printed images from a digital camera. So began the change digital camera with a new form. Digital cameras as conventional cameras, available model Point-And-Shot and digital single-lens reflex or Digital Single Lens Reflector (DSLR).
