It's unclear what you intend by "usable" but the first photographic camera was made by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (1765-1833). It was a simple wooden box camera with a condensing lens that he used in April 1816 to produce the first photograph made with a camera. Niepce also gets credit for the first use of a bellows and first use of an iris diaphragm in a camera. His first photographs were paper negatives that he was unable to fix, so they were not permanent images. He took the first permanent photograph made with a camera in 1826. This image currently resides in the Gernsheim collection at the University of Texas in Austin.

How is a camera made in 2009 different from a camera made in 1814?

A camera made in 2009 differs in every way from one built in 1814 because the first camera had not been made then. The first photograph produced in a camera was made in 1816 by the French inventor Nicéphore Niépce, but he was unable to make it permanent. The first permanent photograph was produced in 1826 by Niépce but the resulting image was a plate more akin to modern lithographic plate. Louis Daguerre worked with Niépce, and continued after Niépce died, to develop the first true photographic process. In 1837 he developed the daguerreotype process, and took the first image of a person in 1839. The cameras from this early period were simple boxes made entirely of wood, with brass-fitted lenses.
