The Daguerreotype Camera of 1839 is a photographic landmark. It
introduced the first practical method for taking a photograph,
although what is generally acknowledged as the first photograph was
actually taken thirteen years before with a different type of
camera by Nicephore Niepce. The Leica was the first camera to make
the 35mm format popular, but it was by no means the first camera to
use 35mm film. Likewise, Polaroid wasn't the first to produce an
instant picture camera, but was, surprisingly, the first company to
introduce an autofocus single lens reflex. The history of the
camera is flush with similar anomalies. This lavishly illustrated
book with over 460 pictures looks at the cameras that became
landmarks and analyzes how and why they influenced future design -
sometimes in a big, important manner, other times in a lesser but
still significant way.
