The world's first photograph made in a camera was taken in 1826 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. This photo, simply titled, "View from the Window at Le Gras," is said to be the world's earliest surviving photograph. The first colour photograph was taken by the mathematical physicist, James Clerk Maxwell.
Centuries of advances in chemistry and optics, including the invention of the camera obscura, set the stage for the world's first photograph. In 1826, French scientist Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, took that photograph, titled View from the Window at Le Gras, at his family's country home.
As phone technology advances, so does mobile camera technology. As a result, many cameras now feature multiple rear cameras — dual, triple, or quad — so you can get a pro-level photography experience with your smartphone. With the addition of another camera, you can broaden your photo-taking abilities.
To celebrate the remarkable history of photographic science on World Photography Day, we take a closer look at the first photograph of a human ever taken. The earliest known photograph of a human appeared in a snapshot taken in 1838 by Louis Daguerre.
The tech company IBM is widely credited with developing the world's first smartphone – the bulky but rather cutely named Simon. It went on sale in 1994 and featured a touchscreen, email capability and a handful of built-in apps, including a calculator and a sketch pad.
Depending on whom you ask and how you define a “true†camera phone, the first commercially available camera-enabled phone was either the Samsung SCH-V200, which was introduced in June, 2000, or Sharp Electronics J-SH04 J-Phone, which was introduced 5 months later, in November of 2000.
2008: The first Android phone turned up, in the form of the T-Mobile G1. Now dubbed the O.G of Android phones, it was a long way from the high-end Android smartphones we use today.
The first mass-market camera phone was the J-SH04, a Sharp J-Phone model sold in Japan in November 2000. It could instantly transmit pictures via cell phone telecommunication.
The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X. In 1983, it became the first commercially available handheld cellular mobile phone.
The world's first photograph—or at least the oldest surviving photo—was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 or 1827. Captured using a technique known as heliography, the shot was taken from an upstairs window at Niépce's estate in Burgundy.
The first Instagram post was a photo of South Beach Harbor at Pier 38, posted by Mike Krieger at 5:26 PM on July 16, 2010. Systrom shared his first post, a picture of a dog and his girlfriend's foot, a few hours later at 9:24 PM.
The oldest known portrait of Jesus, found in Syria and dated to about 235, shows him as a beardless young man of authoritative and dignified bearing. He is depicted dressed in the style of a young philosopher, with close-cropped hair and wearing a tunic and pallium—signs of good breeding in Greco-Roman society.
It had to be used in a darkened room, however sunlight was reflected onto a mirror where the light-image was then seen through the camera, and the picture was copied. The image of the picture was then seen through the aperture (in the roof of the base) and within the base, on the sheet of drawing paper.
The New Medium: exhibiting the first photographs ever taken in India - 1854 Photography.
Photography, as we know it today, began in the late 1830s in France. Joseph Nicéphore Niépce used a portable camera obscura to expose a pewter plate coated with bitumen to light. Daguerreotypes, emulsion plates, and wet plates were developed almost simultaneously in the mid- to late-1800s.
The daguerreotype, the first photographic process, was invented by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre (1787–1851) and spread rapidly around the world after its presentation to the public in Paris in 1839.
English mathematician and inventor Charles Babbage is credited with having conceived the first automatic digital computer. During the mid-1830s Babbage developed plans for the Analytical Engine.
During the 1960s, AT&T's Bell Labs developed a video-calling platform known as the Picturephone.
Did you know the the first camera phone was invented by the Parisian Phillipe Kahn? The first camera phone was created by a Parisian and the first picture he took and sent to family and friends was of his new-born daughter, Sophie, on June 11, 1997 (see below).

The first digital cameraThe first actual digital still camera was developed by Eastman Kodak engineer Steven Sasson in 1975. He built a prototype (US patent 4,131,919) from a movie camera lens, a handful of Motorola parts, 16 batteries and some newly invented Fairchild CCD electronic sensors.

The first U.S. camera phone: the Sanyo SCP-5300In November 2002, over two years after the Samsung SCH-V200 launched in South Korea, the Sanyo SCP-5300 (also known as the Sanyo Katana) went on sale in this country, via Sprint. It cost about $400, had a clamshell design, and a camera that could take 0.3MP images.
Feature-rich, it was the first Nokia phone with a built-in camera (VGA resolution), and thus its imaging capabilities was widely marketed. It has a large (at the time) 2.1" colour display with a resolution of 176x208 pixels.
