 **1q. What different types of cameras were there throughout the early 1900s to now? 2q. (Provide pictures) 3q. What is analog vs digital cameras? 4q. What do cameras record on today? **

 1a. The earliest movie camera, called the Giroux Daguerreotpye, made in 1888 by Louis Le Price. It was a single lense and used Eastman's paper film. The first scenes ever shot with a camera and on record, are Roundhay Garden scene and a Leeds Bridge Street scene.  1910s The first all metal cine camera was the Bell and Howell standard of 1911

1930s. The most complex of its time, the Mitchell-Technicolor Beam Splitting three-strip camera featured three colored seperations; a purple, green and red filter.

1940s Most people had home cameras by the beginning of World War II, that used the 9.5 millimeter format  1960s. In this decade a new film format, Super8, coincided with the ivention of battery operated elctric movie cameras. This new film had a larger frame print on the same width of film stock, and came in a cassette which made changeover and developing much easier. These new cameras now had the capacity to record sound of indifferent quality and were made in plastic more often than metal.

1970s. A new kind of camera called the French Beaulieu 6008 S. It was one of the best Sper8 models ever made and was manufactured from 1979-1983 (about the time Super8 collapsed practically over night). This camera had a time lapse intervalometer, guillotine variable shutter, a wide range of frames and was the first camera to have manual/auto zoom and focus.

1980s. Soney marketed the first commercial colored video camera using a CCD( charged-coupled device). It was the world's first commercial videocam to utilize a completely solid image sinsor. It was also the smallest camera yet weighing in at 2.8 pounds! 

Today-we now use digital cameras like: his is an Advenced Amateur Professional Movie Camera by Sony
