Best Answer

Before the invention of photographic film (or its predecessors such as the daguerreotype), the only way to retain an image was by paintings or drawings. Some famous individuals (e.g. Pharaohs, Alexander) have been sculpted in stone, and others had lifelike masks made that show their features.

It was not until the advent of Photography that detailed likenesses of people (as well as places and events) could be recorded as they actually appeared.

Who create cameras?

Johann Shultz is the supposed first maker of the digital camera in 1727. Kodak and other people helped develop the camera later on and put it into the market just before the year 2000. People have theories that the first camera was made before Jesus, but how could that be true? IN the 1600s, people started coming to the Americas from England and Spain. Why did they not use the camera? Why did they paint, a longer and harder way to show how the "New World" looks to people in other countries? England liked to have power back then so them not having cameras instead of paints when the camera was made long before that sounds a bit fishy.

Yes, you can. I have taken my camera on the plane before. But I don't think it is allowed to use it at taking-off or landing. You can use your camera during the flight, though.
