Daguerreotype was the first successful type of photography invented by Louis Daguerre in 1837. It used a silver-treated copper plate and produced highly detailed images. Polaroid photography allows images to be instantly developed and printed using self-developing film. The first Polaroid camera was produced in 1948. Digital photography uses electronic photo detectors rather than film. The first digital camera was created in 1975 and had very low resolution compared to modern digital cameras which can exceed 4000 megapixels.
