The camera obscura, the first instrument incorporating the essentials of a camera (an opening in a dark box with the ability to focus the light coming through it) was invented by the Iraqi scientist Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) in the 11th Century. The first camera small enough to be portable was built by Johann Zahn in 1685.
