Pinhole Camera
The pinhole camera, invented by Alhazen (Ibn Al-Haytham), used a pinhole aperture and no lens to create an inverted image of the outside on the other side of the box. The first photographic image using a pinhole camera was made by Joseph Nicephore Niepce.

Development of the Daguerreotype Process - http://inventors.about.com/od/dstartinventions/a/Daguerreotype_3.htm
The Daguerreotype process was the first method of recording an image taken with a camera, although it was very intricate. It began with a silver coated copper plate being polished, then sharpened over iodine until it became a yellow-rose color. Then, the plate would be put in the camera and the light and developed over mercury until an image formed. It was put in sodium thiosulfate for enhancements and then toned with gold chloride. It could take up to 15 minutes making it sometimes impractical. -
Camera Portability
The reise camera was a wooden plate camera. It revolutionized photography because it was the actually truly portable, light weight camera. It was also very light because of the material used in the manufacturing of it, and it was very portable because of its ability to fold down into a smaller shape. Because of how much lighter it was to earlier models, it was very practical for people to take pictures on the go.

Instant Photography
It was taking an unreasonable amount of time for people to get photos developed. So a company named Polaroid came and solved this issue. They introduced instant photography to the world. Their instant camera restructured the camera. It was the Polaroid Model 95 and it had the ability to take a photo and have it printed directly in minutes. This changed the camera because of how much more convenient for people it was to take photos. http://www.onextrapixel.com/2015/04/22/evolution-of-the-camera/ -

High End DSLRs (Current cameras)
DSLRs are Digital Single-Lens Reflex cameras. They combine single-lens reflex cameras with digital imaging sensors to create very advanced cameras. These cameras can offer excellent image quality and 4K video resolution in a very small form, smaller than we ever thought we would see in such remarkable cameras.
