Developing Photos Today : Developing Photos Today The days of darkrooms and developer chemicals of earlier ages are seemingly gone.

The History of the Digital Camera : The History of the Digital Camera Digital cameras today evolved from the technology that was developed to capture film. The world’s first megapixel sensor was invented in 1986 by Kodak. It could capture 1.4 million pixel, which would produce a print quality 5x7 photo. After five years of further development, the first digital camera system was released. This was the Nikon F-3, equipped with a 1.3 megapixel sensor and released by Kodak.
In the following years, several other companies released digital cameras as well. Apple’s QuickTake 100 Camera, Kodak’s DC40, Casio’s QV-11 and Sony's Cyber-Shot Digital Still Camera were among the earliest digital cameras. From then on, the cameras became more powerful, had more features, and ultimately became more user-friendly. Apple’s QuickTake 100 Kodak’s DC40 Casio’s QV-11
