The early cameras were very boxy things with the very first often being similar in size to a coffin.

the first camera was called a camera obscura. it was invented in the middle ages to aid artists in doing realistic paintings. it was a dark room with a pinhole or lens in one wall and the artist stood inside it with the image projecting on his canvas as he painted.

One summer day in France in 1826, Joseph Niepce took the world's first photograph. It's a photo of some farm buildings and the sky. It took an exposure time of 8 hours.

No one's exactly sure how he did this or what chemicals were used. All that's known for sure is that the photo is on an 8"x 6.5" pewter plate. It's so faint it has to be tilted in order for the light to catch it just right, to see it. The Getty Museum in California did two weeks of tests in 2003 in a joint project involving the Rochester Institute of Technology and France's Centre de Recherches sur la Conservation des Documents Graphiques. Then it went back on display at the University of Texas in a new air-tight case, where it's been on display since 1964.

hihiihihihihihi Some say that Leonardo da vinci invented a form of Photography to fake the Turin Shroud. But better documented is the photograph of a courtyard by Niecephore Niepce, made in 1826, according to most sources.

The first camera was big and heavy compared to modern cameras. Due to its low resolution power and pixels, it also took low quality pictures in terms of clarity.
