Back in 1895 the Lumière brothers may have no idea how to change the world through their patent. Videography, Action Camera, "slow-mo", a movie, an Oscar, Berlinale, the unfortunate Leonardo DiCaprio and lucky Walt Disney - here

just a small list of merit of the invention itself.

Editorial Droider loves not only watch videos, but also to shoot, so with a light hand peredstavlyaet evolution of camera - from the very Jean Louis and Auguste Lumiere Louis Marie Nicolas to the present day.

January 6, 1896 was presented to the brothers famous black-and-white documentary short film, which has become one of the first films in history. Of course, we are talking about "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station", which by time lasted less than 1 minute. The film is the first time in the history of cinema shown on the screen movement in the long term - to move the train create the effect of space. In addition, for the first time one frame were shown the common people, medium and large plans.

Few people know, but during the premiere of many viewers, who sat in the audience were shocked by what they saw. They felt that a moving train is about to ram the screen and moves into the auditorium. That's how little ironic was put era of Charlie Chaplin and silent movies.

Gods succeeded each other and rough on the manual feed, huge chambers were modified following the progress, but the mechanics of the invention of the Lumiere brothers used for decades in a row. The situation began to change dramatically only in the 80s, when the light began to appear the first analog video.

It happened May 11, 1980 - that's when the market went legendary camcorder from Sony, or rather an experimental model. Naturally, the image quality left much to be desired, but it was a coup. Since machinery has become not only more compact, but also allows you to shoot in color.

The real war for the consumer begins with 1985, when the Japanese company released a videotape standard analog Video 8, and, JVC introduces the format VHS-C - "compact" version of VHS. Recording device and camera were inseparable now. So there was a video camera camcorder.

Even though the quality of the "picture" in the late '80s and early' 90s video camera swept from the shelves technology. On a consumer "boom" in part influenced by the popular TV show ala "do not play" and "The best home videos" where were shown funny amateur clips.

In 1995 there was a new milestone in the history appears first digital camera format miniDV - Sony DCR-VX1000. Its price was considerably more expensive than analog, but the image quality was not equal to it.

In 2001, Japanese engineers have done the seemingly impossible: all information is stored not on the bulky tapes, and flash drives, which is much easier to use the camera in a domestic environment, and in the course of professional photography.

In 2002, the world appeared Sanyo SCP-5300 - the first phone with an integrated camera. Despite the fact that the image quality was obtained disgusting, he was a debutant, putting further development of technology.

Perhaps in the future we are waiting for a new coup. Cameras have already penetrated into smart phones, computers, tablets, media players and continue to be integrated into other types of household appliances.

Since 1895, mankind has experienced several formats and variations of video, film firmly settled in the human consciousness, and Academy Award has become as important event in the life of an individual, as a New Year or Birthday. One patent changed the man of the world, as though it may sound pathetic, many thanks is to say the Lumiere brothers.
