National Camera Day

There is no better day than Camera Day to snap some photos during your lunch hour, on your commute to work, or whenever a moment of inspiration strikes. Cameras and photography have developed substantially over the years, from its early roots with the French inventor Joseph Niépce right up to modern day digital photography.

Joseph Niépce was a French inventor; he is most noted as one of the inventors of photography and was a pioneer in the field. He developed the heliograph; a technique used to produce the world’s first known photograph in 1825, the view from the window at Le Gras the families estate.

In 1839, Louis Jacques Daguerre took the first fixed image that didn’t fade. He is recognized for his invention of the daguerreotype process of photography. He became known as one of the fathers of photography. His method required 30 minutes of exposure. He named the process – the Daguerreotype. Tintypes were developed in 1856 by Hamilton Smith and decades later, George Eastman invented flexible and unbreakable film that could be rolled. This was the birth of the first Kodak that was offered for sale in 1888.

In 1925 the Leica I went on sale, the Leica’s immediate popularity spawned a number of competitors. Kodak released its Retina I in 1934 though 35 mm cameras were still out of reach for most people things would soon change with the introduction of the inexpensive Argus A in 1936. The Japanese camera industry began with the birth of Canon in 1936 with its 35 mm rangefinder. Japanese cameras would soon become incredibly popular in the West after the Korean War as veterans and soldiers stationed in Japan brought them back to the United States.

While conventional cameras were becoming more refined and sophisticated, an entirely new type of camera appeared on the market in 1948. While TSLR and SLR were still the rage this new camera would change the way people would capture memories. This was the Polaroid, the world’s first instant-picture camera, no development needed. Known as a Land Camera after its inventor, Edwin Land, this camera was able to produce finished positive prints from the exposed negatives in under a minute. This new camera took the market by storm; people no longer had to sit still for long periods of time in order for their photographer to snap a picture.

The first digital camera that was commercially was sold in December of 1989 in Japan, the DS-X by Fuji. In 1991, Kodak brought to market the Kodak DCS-100, the beginning of a long line of professional Kodak DCS SLR cameras that were based in part on film bodies. It used a 1.3 megapixel sensor and was priced at $13,000.

The first commercially available digital camera, in the United States, was the 1990 the Dycam Model 1. It was originally a commercial failure because it was black and white, low in resolution, and cost nearly $1,000 but this changed and soon became loved by photographers.

With the standardisation of JPEG and MPEG in 1988 which allowed images and video files to be compressed for storage onto a SD or CF card. With the introduction of the Nikon D1 in 1999 at 2.47 megapixels, this was the first digital SLR that was entirely by a major manufacturer. The D1 cost of just under $6,000 was inexpensive for professional photographers and high-end consumers. This camera also used Nikon F-mount lenses, which meant photographers could utilise many of the lenses they already owned.

By 2010, nearly all mobile phones featured built-in camera with a resolution of 1-2 megapixels digital video camera. Many cameras also featured built-in GPS.

Photography in the 1980′s

 Cameras 

Analog

The Canon AE-1 Program was realesed in 198, which allows the camera to automatically set both aperture and shutter speed. Focus, shoot and you're set to go

Digital

On 25 August 1981, Sony demonstrated the first camera to hold the name Mavica (Magnetic Video Camera).

It stored pictures on two-inch floppy disks, it could hold up to fifty colour photos to be put on a television or monitor. It had a both fixed ISO of  200 and  shutter speed at 1/60 second. It ran off AA batteries. 

In 1988, the first JPEG and MPEG standards were set.

The first digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera was the Nikon SVC prototype demonstrated in 1986, followed by the commercial Nikon QV-1000C released in 1988. 

The first widely commercial camera was the 1990 Dycam Model 1.  It used a CCD image sensor, stored pictures digitally, and connected directly to a PC for download.

Street Photography New York

“In the 70s and 80s ordinary people could actually afford to live in Manhattan. What people forget is that the reason the city was affordable is that it had a high crime rate. There were many neighborhoods that were so drug and crime infested that people were scared to go there,”

Robert Herman

Started taking pictures in 1978, photographing the streets of New York. 

“These photos tell an authentic story of New York City: not a series of skyline cliches but real New Yorkers living and working in their own neighborhoods”

Photography in the 90s

Key dates in the history of digital photography from 1990 to 1999:

1990: Kodak develops the Photo CD system and proposes the first “ worldwide standard for defining color in the digital environment of computers and computer peripherals.”

1990: Adobe release Photoshop 1.0 making it the second digital editing program available for Macintosh computers and an important milestone in the digital photography timeline.

1990: Logitech introduces the Dycam Model I and Fotoman digital cameras. It was a true digital camera capable of capturing 320 x 320 pixel black and white photos. The camera had 1 MB of internal memory that could store up to 32 photos. It had a 8mm fixed-focus lens with a shutter speed range of 1/30 to 1/1000 second. The camera came with a cable to download these photos to a computer and sold for $995.

1991: Another milestone in the digital photography timeline was when Kodak released the first professional digital camera system marketed towards journalists. It used a Nikon F-3 camera film body adapted with a 1.3 megapixel Kodak CCD image sensor. It sold for $13,000.

1991: Fuji releases the DS-100 digital memory card camera. This camera had a 390,000 pixel imager and a 8-24mm F/2 power zoom lens. It recorded images to a digital image card and sold for around $5,000. Fuji also sold a card drive that hooked up to a Macintosh computer via the SCSI port resulting in faster image downloads than the typical serial interface more commonly used. This camera included a version of Adobe PhotoShop that allowed the importing of images to a Macintosh computer.

1992: The National Center for Supercomputing Applications release Mosaic the first internet photograph browser another important event along the digital photography timeline.

1994: Apple releases the QuickTake 100 a color digital camera made by Kodak. With as selling price of $795 this camera was able to capture a 640x480 pixel color image and came with a fixed focus 50mm lens. It used three AAA batteries for power and weighed only one pound. It stored up to 32 images at 320 x 240 pixels or 8 pictures at 640 x 480 resolution and connected to a computer via a serial port.

1994: Olympus introduces the Deltis VC-1100, the world’s first digital camera capable of uploading photos using a modem to another camera or computer. It had a built in zoom lens and an image resolution of 768 x 576 pixels. Selling at about $4,000 this camera was also one of the first cameras to store images on an external PCMCIA card.

1994: SanDisk and Kodak released the first CompactFlash Memory Card. Kodak releases a 1 MB version of the card in early 1994 and SanDisk releases 2-24 MB versions of the card later that year. Still widely used today the development of the CompactFlash memory card was an important event in the digital photography timeline.

1995: Ricoh releases the RDC-1 the first digital camera that could also take movies with sound, although the movies were limited to only 10 seconds long. Also in 1995 Casio released the QV-11 which was one of the first digital cameras with an LCD display.

1995: Canon and Kodak jointly released the EOS DCS series of digital cameras intended for professional use. Canon also released the the EF 75-300mm F4-5.6 IS lens. This was the first still camera telephoto lens that had built in image stabilization technology.

1996: The Kodak CD-25 is the first camera to use a Compact Flash card for storage. Canon also started selling its “PowerShot” 600 the first in a long line of “PowerShot” cameras designed for the general user. The Canon “PowerShot” 600 also used a compact flash card to store photos and really marked the beginning of Canon’s full scale start into the digital camera era and a key event on the digital photography timeline.

1996: Sony introduces their first “Cyber-shot” digital camera the DSC-F1. This camera used a .3 megapixel (310,000 pixel) CCD image sensor capable of a resolution of 640x480 pixels. It had 4MB of internal flash memory and could store up to 108 JPEG images. (30 images in fine mode.)

1997: Was a breakout year with Hitachi coming out with the MP-EG1 the first digital camera that captured movies in the MPEG format. At the same time Sony released the Cyber-shot DSC-MD1 the first digital camera that recorded JPEG images onto a MiniDisc (a small CD). This camera had a 640x480 pixel CCD image sensor and a 37 to 111mm F/2 lens with macro functions. The same year Sony also released its MVC-FD5 the first of its Mavica cameras that allowed users to record JPEG images directly to a standard 3.5 inch floppy disk making it easy for the consumer to transfer the images directly to their computers.

1997: Olympus releases the Camedia D-500L. The D-500L had a 1024 x 768 pixel CCD imager and a 50mm to 150mm F/2.8 lens. It retailed for $799 and was the first non-SLR digital camera to use a TTL (through-the-lens) viewfinder.

1997: The Panasonic Palmcam PV-DC1080 is one of the earliest digital cameras to come with a docking station to link to the computer. This camera had a retail price of $550 and used a 640 x 480 pixel CCD sensor with a 55mm fixed focus lens.

1998: Sony’s MVC-FD91 was one of the first cameras to use Sony’s Info Lithium batteries. This allowed continuous feedback as to how much battery life was left as well as eliminating the “memory” problem typical of NICAD rechargeable batteries. Like most other Mavica’s this camera stored images on a standard 3.5” floppy disk. It was one of the first cameras to have a 14X zoom lens with built in image stabilization and a key event in the digital photography timeline. With a 37mm to 518mm effective focal length the camera set a new standard for what today would be referred to as “super zoom” cameras. It had a 1024 x 768 pixel CCD sensor and sold for around $700.

1999: Another important point on the digital photography timeline was when Photohighway.com started the first photography site on the internet where photos can be uploaded directly from a digital camera.

1999: Another milestone on the digital photography timeline came when Nikon released the Nikon D1 which was the first DSLR (digital single lens reflex camera). It had a 2.74 megapixel APS-C image sensor weighed about 3.75 lbs. and cost slightly under $6,000. It also used the standard Nikon F-mount lenses which allowed film photographers could use many of the lenses they already owned. Nikon continued using an APS-C image sensor, known as the “DX sensor” in their digital SLR’s from 1999 to 2007.

1999: Nikon also releases two 2 megapixel cameras capable of producing smaller photo quality prints. The Coolpix 900 came with a zoom lens while the Coolpix 700 had a fixed focal length lens.

CÁMARA DIGITAL:

Una cámara digital es una cámara fotográfica que, en vez de captar y almacenar fotografías en película química como las cámaras de película fotográfica, recurre a la fotografía digital para generar y almacenar imágenes.

Las cámaras digitales modernas generalmente tienen varias funciones y contienen dispositivos capaces de grabar sonido y/o vídeo además de fotografía. Actualmente se venden más cámaras fotográficas digitales que cámaras con película.

Los conceptos de digitalizar imágenes en escáneres y convertir señales de vídeo a digital anteceden al concepto de tomar cuadros fijos digitalizando así señales de una matriz de elementos sensores discretos. Eugene F. Lally, del Jet Propulsion Laboratory, publicó la primera descripción de cómo producir fotos troll en un dominio digital usando un fotosensor en mosaico.[2]​ El propósito era proporcionar información de navegación a los astronautas a bordo durante misiones espaciales. La matriz en mosaico registraba periódicamente fotos fijas de las localizaciones de estrellas y planetas durante el tránsito, y cuando se acercaba a un planeta proporcionaba información adicional de distancias para el orbitación y como guía para el aterrizaje. El concepto incluyó elementos de diseño que presagiaban la primera cámara fotográfica digital.

Texas Instruments diseñó una cámara fotográfica análoga sin película en 1972, pero no se sabe si fue finalmente construida. La primera cámara digital registrada fue desarrollada por la empresa Kodak, que encargó la construcción de un prototipo al ingeniero Steven J. Sasson en 1975. Esta cámara usaba los entonces nuevos sensores CCD desarrollados por Fairchild Semiconductor en 1973. Su trabajo dio como fruto una cámara de aproximadamente 4 kg. que hacía fotos en blanco y negro con una resolución de 0,01 megapíxeles. Utilizó los novedosos chips de estado sólido del CCD. La cámara fotográfica registraba las imágenes en una cinta de casete y tardó 23 segundos en capturar su primera imagen, en diciembre de 1975. Este prototipo de cámara fotográfica era un ejercicio técnico, no previsto para la producción. La primera cámara digital que logró ser producida fue la Cromemco Cyclops, que fue lanzada en 1975. La Cyclops tenía un sensor MOS con una resolución de 0,001 megapíxeles.

Cámaras fotográficas electrónicas analógicas

Las cámaras fotográficas electrónicas de mano, en el sentido de un dispositivo hecho para ser llevado y utilizado como una cámara fotográfica de mano de película, aparecieron en 1981 con la demostración de Sony Mavica (cámara de vídeo magnética). Este modelo no debe ser confundido con las cámaras fotográficas más modernas de Sony que también usan el nombre de Mavica. Esta era una cámara fotográfica analógica basada en la tecnología de televisión que grababa en un "disquete de vídeo" de una pulgada por dos. Esencialmente era una cámara de vídeo que registraba imágenes fijas, 50 por disco en modo de campo y 25 por disco en modo del marco. La calidad de la imagen era considerada igual a la de los televisores de la época.

Las cámaras fotográficas electrónicas analógicas no parecen haber alcanzado el mercado hasta 1986 con la Canon RC-701. Canon mostró este modelo en las Olimpiadas de 1984, imprimiendo las imágenes en periódicos. Varios factores retrasaron la adopción extensa de cámaras fotográficas análogas: el coste (arriba de $20.000), calidad pobre de la imagen en comparación a la película, la carencia de impresoras de calidad. La captura e impresión de una imagen requirió originalmente el acceso a equipo como un framegrabber, que estaba más allá del alcance del consumidor medio. Los discos de vídeo tuvieron después varios dispositivos lectores disponibles para ver en una pantalla, pero nunca fueron estandardizados al impulso de las computadoras.

Los primeros en adoptarlas tendieron a ser del medio noticiario, donde el coste fue superado por la utilidad y la capacidad de transmitir imágenes por líneas telefónicas. La calidad pobre fue compensada por la resolución baja de los gráficos de periódico. Esta capacidad para transmitir imágenes sin recurrir a satélites era útil durante las protestas de Tiananmen de 1989 y la primera guerra del Golfo en 1991.

La primera cámara fotográfica analógica para venta a los consumidores pudo haber sido la Canon RC-250 Xapshot en 1988. Una cámara fotográfica analógica notable producida en el mismo año era el Nikon QV-1000C, que vendió aproximadamente 100 unidades y registraba imágenes en escalas de grises, y la calidad de impresión en periódico era igual a las cámaras fotográficas de película. En aspecto se asemejaba a una cámara fotográfica digital moderna réflex.

La llegada de cámaras fotográficas completamente digitales

Chipincamera.jpg

La primera cámara fotográfica completamente digital que registraba imágenes en un archivo de computadora fue la cámara Cyclops, introducida en 1975 por Cromemco.[4]​ La cámara Cyclops utilizaba un sensor MOS y podía ser conectada a cualquier microcomputadora utilizando el Bus S-100. La primera cámara digital con almacenamiento interno fue el modelo DS-1P de Fuji, creada en 1988, que grababa en una tarjeta de memoria interna de 16 MB. Fuji mostró un prototipo del modelo DS-1P, pero esta cámara no fue lanzada al mercado. La primera cámara digital disponible para uso con la PC IBM y la computadora Macintosh fue la Dycam Model 1, lanzada en 1991, que también fue vendida con el nombre de Logitech Fotoman. Usaba un sensor CCD, grababa digitalmente las imágenes, y disponía de un cable de conexión para la descarga directa en la computadora.[5]​[6]​[7]​

En 1991, Kodak lanzó al mercado su modelo DCS-100, el primero de una larga línea de cámaras fotográficas profesionales SLR de Kodak que fueron basadas, en parte, en cámaras para película, a menudo de marca Nikon. Utilizaba un sensor de 1,3 megapixeles y se vendía en unos $13.000.

La transición a formatos digitales fue ayudada por la formación de los primeros estándares JPEG y MPEG en 1988, que permitieron que los archivos de imagen y vídeo se comprimieran para su almacenamiento. La primera cámara fotográfica dirigida a consumidores con una pantalla de cristal líquido en la parte posterior fue la Casio QV-10 en 1995, y la primera cámara fotográfica en utilizar tarjetas de memoria CompactFlash fue la Kodak DC-25 en 1996.

El mercado para las cámaras fotográficas digitales dirigidas al consumidor estaba formado originalmente por cámaras fotográficas de baja resolución. En 1997 se ofrecieron las primeras cámaras fotográficas para consumidores de un megapixel. La primera cámara fotográfica que ofreció la capacidad de registrar clips de vídeo pudo haber sido la Ricoh RDC-1 en 1995.

En 1999 con la introducción del Nikon D1, una cámara fotográfica de 2.74 megapixeles, que fue una de las primeras SLR digitales, la compañía se convirtió en un fabricante importante, y, con un costo inicial de menos de $6.000, era asequible tanto para fotógrafos profesionales como para consumidores de alto perfil. Esta cámara fotográfica también utilizaba lentes Nikon F, lo que significaba que los fotógrafos podrían utilizar muchas de las mismas lentes que ya tenían para sus cámaras de película.

En 2003 se presentó la Digital Rebel de Canon, también conocida como la 300D, una cámara fotográfica dirigida a consumidores de 6 megapixeles y la primera DSLR que tenía un costo inferior a $1.000.

En 2008 se presentó en la Feria de Alemania, una cámara LEICA de medio formato con una resolución de 37 megapixeles.

Resolución de imagen

La resolución de una cámara fotográfica digital está limitada por el sensor de la cámara (generalmente un CCD o un Sensor CMOS) que responde a las señales de luz, sustituyendo el trabajo de la película en fotografía tradicional. El sensor se compone de millones de “cubos” que se cargan en respuesta a la luz. Generalmente, estos cubos responden solamente a una gama limitada de longitudes de onda ligeras, debido a un filtro del color sobre cada uno. Cada uno de estos cubos se llama un píxel, y se utiliza un algoritmo de mosaicismo e interpolación para unir la imagen de cada gama de longitud de onda por píxel en una imagen del RGB donde están las tres imágenes por píxel para representar un color completo.

Sensor CCD Cámara Canon SX30 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm)

Los dispositivos CCD transportan la carga a través del chip hasta un conversor analógico-digital. Este convierte el valor de cada uno de los píxeles en un valor digital midiendo la carga que le llega. Dependiendo del número de bits del conversor obtendremos una imagen con mayor o menor gama de color. Por ejemplo, si se utilizase un bit tendríamos valores de 0 y 1, y podríamos representar presencia o ausencia de luz, lo que supondría una imagen en blanco y negro puro.

Por otro lado, los aparatos CMOS contienen varios transistores en cada píxel. El proceso de conversión digital se produce en la propia estructura del sensor, por lo que no se necesita un conversor añadido. Su proceso de fabricación es más sencillo, y hace que las cámaras que utilizan esta tecnología resulten más baratas.

La cantidad de píxeles resultante en la imagen determina su tamaño. Por ejemplo una imagen de 640 píxeles de ancho por 480 píxeles de alto tendrá 307,200 píxels, o aproximadamente 307 kilopíxeles; una imagen de 3872 píxeles de alto por 2592 píxeles de ancho tendrá 10.036.224 píxeles, o aproximadamente 10 megapíxeles.

Según la experiencia fotográfica de los profesionales en dicho campo afirman que una fotografía química realizada por una cámara compacta daría como resultado una fotografía de 30 megapíxeles.

Calidad de la imagen

La cuenta de pixeles comúnmente es lo único que se muestra para indicar la resolución de una cámara fotográfica, pero esta es una idea falsa. Hay varios factores que afectan la calidad de un sensor. Algunos de estos factores incluyen, el tamaño del sensor, la calidad de la lente, la organización de los pixeles (por ejemplo, una cámara fotográfica monocromática sin un mosaico de filtro Bayer tiene una resolución más alta que una cámara fotográfica de color típica) y el rango dinámico del sensor.

A muchas cámaras fotográficas compactas digitales se las crítica por tener demasiados pixeles en relación al pequeño tamaño del sensor que incorporan.

El aumento de la densidad de pixeles disminuye la sensibilidad del sensor. Pues cada pixel es tan pequeño que recoge muy pocos fotones, y así para conservar la relación señal-ruido se deberá iluminar más el sensor. Esta disminución de la sensibilidad conduce a cuadros ruidosos, calidad pobre en sombras y generalmente a imágenes de pobre calidad si están escasamente iluminadas.

The Evolution of the Digital Camera

The digital camera was first thought up as a method to capture digital photos in space. It wasn't until 14 years later in 1975 that the technology caught up, and the first digital camera was created by Steven Sasson, a Kodak engineer. The camera was the size of a large toaster and weighed roughly 4kg. It would capture black and white images on a special cassette tape. Sasson had to develop a special screen in order to view the images. It took 23 seconds to capture a photo and the resolution was at .01 megapixels.

Kodak didn’t continue its development of digital cameras. The next iteration came from Fairchild in 1976. Fairchild introduced the MV-101 which was used commercially to inspect Procter and Gamble products. The next iteration was the Konica C35-AF, the first compact point-and-shoot camera which included an autofocus feature. Then, Sony introduced the Mavica. It could capture photos on color and stored them on floppy disks called Mavipaks. The image quality was still poor with a resolution of 570x490 pixels but it could capture photos near-instantly at 1/60th of a second. The first consumer camera that came out was the Canon RC-250 Xapshot in 1988. These cameras aren't actually true digital cameras. They're actually analogue cameras that record images onto electronic media.

The first true digital camera was the Fairchild All-Sky camera, developed by the University of Calgary Canada ASI Science Team. This was considered truely digital because it recorded digital data rather than analogue. In 1983, Canon commisioned designer Luigi Colani to create concept designs for future cameras (pictured above).

The first handheld digital camera was developed by Fuji in 1988, known as the DS-1P. The camera never sold, but featured an internal 16MB memory card. In the same year, JPEG and MPEG standards were introduced. The first consumer digital camera was the Dycam Model 1, created by Logitech in 1990. It stored pictures digitally and could connect directly to a PC to exchange photos. SLR cameras with digital components started being introduced shortly after.

In 1994, Apple created the first color digital camera that sold for under $1000. It was developed by Kodak and could capture images with a resolution of 640x480 pixels. It could only store 8 photos at max. The camera was called the QuickTake 100. Later in the same year, the Olympus Deltis VC-1100 was introduced. This was the first digital camera with built-in transmission capabilities, meaning it could directly transmit photos to a printer.

In 1995, cameras started using flash memory and began to take the shape of the digital cameras we see today. It was also the beginning of digital cameras being able to capture both photos and videos with sound. The first camera with these capabilities was the Ricod RDC-1. This camera set the base-line specs for all compact cameras to come. While technology has continued to improve, the equipment found in compact cameras is the same as what is found in the cameras on our cellphones.

In 1839, Louis Jacques Daguerre took the first fixed image that didn’t fade. He is recognized for his invention of the daguerreotype process of photography. He became known as one of the fathers of photography. His method required 30 minutes of exposure. He named the process – the Daguerreotype. Tintypes were developed in 1856 by Hamilton Smith and decades later, George Eastman invented flexible and unbreakable film that could be rolled. This was the birth of the first Kodak that was offered for sale in 1888.

In 1925 the Leica I went on sale, the Leica’s immediate popularity spawned a number of competitors. Kodak released its Retina I in 1934 though 35 mm cameras were still out of reach for most people things would soon change with the introduction of the inexpensive Argus A in 1936. The Japanese camera industry began with the birth of Canon in 1936 with its 35 mm rangefinder. Japanese cameras would soon become incredibly popular in the West after the Korean War as veterans and soldiers stationed in Japan brought them back to the United States.

While conventional cameras were becoming more refined and sophisticated, an entirely new type of camera appeared on the market in 1948. While TSLR and SLR were still the rage this new camera would change the way people would capture memories. This was the Polaroid, the world’s first instant-picture camera, no development needed. Known as a Land Camera after its inventor, Edwin Land, this camera was able to produce finished positive prints from the exposed negatives in under a minute. This new camera took the market by storm; people no longer had to sit still for long periods of time in order for their photographer to snap a picture.

The first digital camera that was commercially was sold in December of 1989 in Japan, the DS-X by Fuji. In 1991, Kodak brought to market the Kodak DCS-100, the beginning of a long line of professional Kodak DCS SLR cameras that were based in part on film bodies. It used a 1.3 megapixel sensor and was priced at $13,000.

The first commercially available digital camera, in the United States, was the 1990 the Dycam Model 1. It was originally a commercial failure because it was black and white, low in resolution, and cost nearly $1,000 but this changed and soon became loved by photographers.

With the standardisation of JPEG and MPEG in 1988 which allowed images and video files to be compressed for storage onto a SD or CF card. With the introduction of the Nikon D1 in 1999 at 2.47 megapixels, this was the first digital SLR that was entirely by a major manufacturer. The D1 cost of just under $6,000 was inexpensive for professional photographers and high-end consumers. This camera also used Nikon F-mount lenses, which meant photographers could utilise many of the lenses they already owned.

By 2010, nearly all mobile phones featured built-in camera with a resolution of 1-2 megapixels digital video camera. Many cameras also featured built-in GPS.
