Thomas Edison. The Frenchman Louis Lumiere is often credited as inventing the first motion picture camera in 1895. But in truth, several others had made similar inventions around the same time as Lumiere. What Lumiere invented was a portable motion-picture camera, film processing unit and projector called the Cinematographe, three functions covered in one invention. In 1891, the Edison company successfully demonstrated the Kinetoscope, which enabled one person at a time to view moving pictures. Later in 1896, Edison showed his improved Vitascope projector and it was the first commercially, successful, projector in the U.S.

Over the years following various items were added such as a diaphragm to sharpen up the image and a mirror was added to make the image to make the images upright. From about 1676 a portable camera was available. It was in the 1800s that the first practical camera came about. in 1826 Freenchman Nicephore Niepce used a camera obscurer for Photography fir the first time. 1856 saw the first camera that took small images of live subjects.
