Way back in 1888 the Kodak camera was first offered for sale, and this camera consisted of enough exposure film for 100 pictures, after which you had to return it to the factory for processing and reloading. 1948 saw the introduction of the first instant picture in the form of the Polaroid model 95. It wasnt until the 1970s that we first started seeing digital cameras and their introduction quickly relegated the chemical cameras of yesteryear to a niche market.

Digital cameras became popular instantly and manufactures were rushing to make the best cameras they could, still today there are new cameras coming out each week. The previous trend of trying to manufacture the smallest camera possible seems to be thankfully coming to an end.
