The early camera used glass plates coated with chemicals to make a picture. The glass plate was slipped into the camera and a cover on the lens was removed this made a negative picture as the light hit the coated glass. The glass was taken out of the camera and used to make a picture. Most of the glass plates were recycled for use in windows and green houses so many of the early photos are gone. The glass was later replaced with tin to make "tin types" and in the early 1900's film was introduced. In 1888 Edison made the first film projector. For most of the 20th century film was the mainly used for photos ( some people still like film better than digital). The digital camera is fairly recent to come on the market and the big advantage is that it doesn't use film. This is the main difference between the camera of today and the camera of 20 or 10 years ago. The home photographer can do much of the work that he/she use to pay for by the programs on the computer. A whole industry has been changed due to the digital camera.
