Where did George Eastman invent film?

George Eastman did neither. What Eastman did do was establish a system that simplified Photography so that anyone who could afford his camera could take pictures. He invented a particular hand-held camera that required nothing more of the user than to point it and push the button, and he established the first commercial processing facilities to eliminate the need for the user to have his own darkroom. The first hand-held Eastman camera was the Eastman-Cossett Detective Camera of 1886, but it proved to be too expensive to manufacture, so only a few were produced. The first Kodak camera was introduced in 1888, and was an immediate success, in spite of the very high initial cost of $25 for the camera, and $10 to process the 100-image roll and reload the camera.

canon 5d mark ii

The Images are huge and quite simply stunning. Plus I find that I can get away with very low noise all the way up to 3200 ISO on the 5D Mark II where the 40D was very noisy. In fact I would not hesitate to say the 5D Mark II photos has less noise at 9,600 ISO then the 40D does at 1600 ISO.

-Outrageous RAW headroom for mistakes, far beyond the 5Dmk1. In outdoor portraits with strobes, I can still get a high quality images when the strobes don't fire and leave me with a -2ev shot. When making outrageous changes in Photoshop, files respond beautifully. RAW files are monstrous, however.

- Picture quality out of camera saves serious time in photoshop.

- The screen is finally useful in judging exposure. You can clearly see if the skin tones are over and under exposed, hotspots in a poor lighting setup, etc. You'll still see more detail in shadows on the computer, however.

- ISO sensitivity: one of the best today. I shot out of a car window at twilight in a spooky looking town and got amazing shots at 6400+. I shoot more for fun since I've had this camera.

-Great customization and cool menu controls.

-I laughed at video but am starting to use it regularly at weddings. Amazing quality of expensive video cameras. Tricky to learn with autofocus. Must use a tripod.

- Even more detail out of my lenses (except 100-400)

- Everything improved from old 5D

- Much better image quality than 1Ds Mkii and iii.

- Canon lenses a much better value than Nikon.

4. Easily crop, zoom, and edit photos.

5. You can change color photos to black and whites with the click of a button.

6. You can print them if you want an actual photograph.

7. You only print the photos you want, vs having an entire roll of film developed and printed in order to get the three good photos on the roll.

8. It's cheaper than buying film and paying to get it developed.
