George Eastman Kodak invented roll film and a camera that used it in 1888. Before that, only single shot cameras existed, mostly using glass plates that were difficult to use. As I recall, the camera contained enought film for 100 exposures and had to be mailed away to have the film removed, processed and prints made. Kodak returned the camera re-loaded.
Film cameras are alot better quality then digital cameras.

No. Although film cameras are nice when sending a child to camp or on a feild trip, Digital cameras are not only cheaper to develope but there are more places that you can develope them
Ordinary cameras that took 'still' photos. ------------------------------------------------------ No Before Video Cameras people used to use super 8mm and 8mm cine film cameras to take home movies.
Not many compact cameras have viewfinders these days. So you are pretty limited in looks. Try the Canon IXUS 95 IS

The answer is in your question. They need smaller sensors to fit in smaller and smaller cameras. The full size DSLR camera has sensor as big as the old 35 mm film. Most compact camera have sensors the size of you fingernail or smaller.
The main differences between the Polaroid i-Type and 600 cameras are that the i-Type cameras are designed for use with i-Type film, which does not contain a battery, while the 600 cameras are compatible with 600 film, which includes a built-in battery to power the camera's features. Additionally, i-Type cameras have a sleeker design and are typically more compact compared to the bulkier 600 cameras.

Point and shoot cameras are compact and easy to use, but offer limited control over settings and image quality. SLR film cameras provide higher image quality, more control over settings, and greater versatility due to interchangeable lenses.

Thin film cameras offer several advantages over traditional cameras, including being lighter, more flexible, and potentially cheaper to produce. They also have the potential for higher resolution and improved image quality due to their ability to capture more light. Additionally, thin film cameras can be integrated into various devices and applications more easily due to their compact size and flexibility.
that's when people are painting and making portraits as a picture.
recently A2 Movie cameras were invented almost as soon as photographic techniques were invented, at the end of the 19th century. These used chemical film. Video cameras were invented along with television in the 1920's. Videcon, vacuum tube type video cameras, were replaced with CCD's around the 1980's.
Compact cameras are "point and shoot". SLRs usually require more manual input. In compact cameras, the lens is fixed to the camera. In SLRs, the lens is separate that you have to put on.
