The first photographic camera developed for commercial manufacture was a daguerreotype camera, built by Alphonse Giroux in 1839.
The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman, who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1889. His first camera, which he called the "Kodak," was first offered for sale in 1888.
