A simple camera can be made simply with a light-tight box and a film or sensor, anything to 'capture' the light coming through an opening (lens, pinhole, aperture, etc.) Although this setup is rather rudimentary, it is a camera.
You need to watch the eclipse thorough an approved filter. You may also construct a pinhole camera.
It was a breakthrough because you could show real pictures instead of describing something. Before the invention of the camera the only way to capture real images was through painting. The camera allowed images to be caught without a framed image. A painted image and a photograph are a construct of an image, depending on the creator, but a camera, think of all that could capture: in real time. A camera is there!
