    The first camera was invented by the Iraqi scientist Ibn Al Haitham. It was called camera obscura and it's operations were detailed in his book of optics. It was later in history that Robert Boyle developed a portable version of the aforementioned camera. The first practical camera for the purpose of photography had been invented by Johan Zahn in 1685. It was only 150 years later that technology enabled it to be practical.
