Hello Explorers
Hope you guys are doing well.
The first digital camera was invented in 1975 by Steven Sasson, an engineer at Kodak.Did you know
The invention of the digital camera revolutionized photography by allowing pictures to be captured electronically rather than using film. This success opened the way for modern digital cameras found in smartphones, DSLRs and mirrorless.
In simple words, a digital camera captures images with an electronic image sensor instead of film. The sensor turns light into electronic signals, which are then processed and saved as digital data in formats like as JPEG or RAW.What is a Digital Camera

More Information
- Steven Sasson was born in 1950 and worked as an electrical engineer at Kodak.
- In 1975, he was assigned to build a new type of camera that used a CCD (charge-coupled device) to capture images.
- The first digital camera he developed weighed 8 pounds and recorded black & white photos with a resolution of just 0.01 megapixels.
- It took 23 seconds to capture and store each image on a cassette tape.
- The prototype displayed the photos on a TV screen, as there was no other way to view the digital images.
- Even after Sasson's invention, Kodak was a slow adopter of digital technology, so they missed out on the rise in popularity of digital cameras.
- The first consumer digital cameras arrived in the late 1980s, revolutionizing photography for decades.
