History of the Digital Camera

Digital camera technology is directly connected and switched on the same technology that recorded television images. In 1951, the first video tape recorder (VTR), live images taken from television cameras by changing data into electrical impulses (digital) and store the information in the bar. Bing Crosby laboratories (the research group led Crosby and support engineer John Mullins) made the first VTR and the beginning of 1956, VTR technology perfectly (as VR1000 found Charles P. Bourges and Hinsli Atreh Corporation) and is widely used in the television industry. Two TV cameras and camcorders and digital cameras using PLC (charged couple device) to perceive color and light intensity.

In 1960, NASA turned from analog to digital signal with a space probe to map the surface of the moon (sending digital images back to Earth). Computer technology is in progress and NASA used computers to improve the image of the space station was successful.

Digital photography is also used in other such spy satellite. Government use of digital technologies has contributed to the science of digital images, but the private sector is also a significant contribution. Texas Instruments patented a film-less electronic camera in 1972, first to do so. In August 1981, Sony released Sony Mavica electronic camera, a camera, was the first notification e camera. Images recorded on mini disc and then insert a video reader that is connected to a television screen or color printer. However, the early Mavica can not be true, digital camera, even when it began a revolution in digital camera. There is a camera that shot the video "clip.
Since mid-1970, Kodak found a solid sensor, the "light turns digital photos for professional use and major consumers. In 1986 Kodak scientists invented the world's first megapixel sensor capable of recording 1.4 million pixels, which can lead 5ks7-inch Digital photo-quality. In 1987, Kodak released seven products for recording, storing, processing, transmission and printing electronic still video images. In 1990, Kodak developed the Photo CD system and proposed "the first worldwide standard for determining the color in the digital environment of computers and computer peripherals . In 1991, Kodak released the first professional digital camera system (DCS), aimed at journalists. It was Nikon F-3 is equipped with a Kodak camera with 1.3 megapixel sensor.
The first digital camera for consumers at the market that works on a home computer via serial cable, Apple quickly Take 100 camera (February 17, 1994), the Kodak DC40 camera (March 28, 1995), Casio KV-11 (with LCD monitor late 1995) and Sony Cyber-shot Digital Camera (1996).

However, Kodak has made an aggressive joint marketing campaign to promote the DC40 and the idea of digital photography in public. Kinki and Microsoft have worked to create a KODAK digital image creation software, workstations and terminals, which allows users to photograph CD-ROM, and add photos and digital images and documents. IBM in connection with on-line KODAK, to accept the replacement image. Heulett-Packard became the first company that is in color inkjet printers, which adds a new digital camera.
