The Early Days Of Digital Photography History

It may be said, that digital photography history began in December 1975, when the very first digital camera image was captured. This is a fairly long time ago, because most people did not know what a digital camera was, as recently as the year 2000.

The image that was taken more than thirty years ago, was a picture in black and white. Since most people are now familiar with megapixels, that first image was 0.001 megapixels. This means approximately 10,000 pixels.

Shortly after that, although digital cameras actually began to outsell film cameras and in 2005 it was hard to find point and shoot film cameras at all.

The full impact of digital photography history may have come full circle with the achievement of popular use of digital cameras from 2005-2009, a time where the film manufacturers closed factories and production lines.

It all started with capturing images for spaceship navigation, progressed to the 12 Megapixel digital cameras of today, with many bells and whistles to please almost every photographic need. These modern digital cameras range from the point and shoot consumer digital cameras to the professional standard digital cameras.

The modern age of digital cameras has seen an explosion in new technological developments since the beginnings of digital photography history.
