when did the first film camera come out?
1866
in 1876, wordsworth donisthorpe proposed a camera to take a series of pictures on glass plates, to be printed on a roll of paper film. in 1889, he would patent a moving picture camera in which the film moved continuously. another film camera was designed in england by frenchman louis le prince in 1888. he had built a 16 lens camera in 1887 at his workshop in leeds. the first 8 lenses would be triggered in rapid succession by an electromagnetic shutter on the sensitive film; the film would then be moved forward allowing the other 8 lenses to operate on the film. after much trial and error, he was finally able to develop a single lens camera in 1888, which he used to shoot sequences of moving pictures on paper film, including the "roundhay garden scene" and "leeds bridge".
