The early cameras were very boxy things with the very first often being similar in size to a coffin.

the first camera was called a camera obscura. it was invented in the middle ages to aid artists in doing realistic paintings. it was a dark room with a pinhole or lens in one wall and the artist stood inside it with the image projecting on his canvas as he painted.
