From the Paper
"Cameras of all kinds-still video film digital-have become so ubiquitous that Americans seemingly take them for granted. Once cumbersome to the point that taking a photograph required subjects to sit still for several minutes, today's cameras have progressed to the point that they exist in cellular phones. Despite the fact that digital and film cameras are both called cameras they use significantly different technology to capture images. This research considers how film cameras evolved into digital cameras and the advantages associated with the ... "

Abstract
The paper describes how the Sony Cybershot digital camera exhibits a blend of form and function. The paper discusses the features of image stabilization, various modes, and a built-in microphone that allows the camera to perform the function of audio capture and a zoom lens. The paper also looks at several formal features that are directly related to their functions, for example, the battery and memory card storage spaces that hold those items.

From the Paper
"The Sony Cybershot digital camera exhibits a blend of form and function. Formal elements convey function, and function is communicated via form. The features that the Sony Cybershot shares with pre-digital cameras include all the elements that make a camera what it is: a lens; some kind of viewfinder; and a trigger to take shots. However, the digital camera possess several features that demonstrate the different functions between a digital and film camera. The Sony Cybershot in particular offers user-friendly functions specific to the art, hobby, and science of photography. Moreover, many of the Sony Cybershot functions are hidden, embedded in the camera's hardware and firmware or simply invisible."

From the Paper
"Photography has gone a long way in recording and visualizing natural phenomena, with the camera as the device. Both have evolved through the centuries.
"The precursor was the camera obscura in the 1700s. The first photograph was taken in 1835, the first patent for photography awarded in 1840. The first photo advertisement was produced in 1843. Two processes in the early 1800s were by Dagerreo and Fox Talbot. The term "photography" was coined. George Eastman set up his company, which produced and sold Kodak cameras. The cine-camera or color photography was invented. James Clerk Maxwell introduced color photography. Kodachrome slide film was invented and color prints were developed. The instant photography system and compact cameras came forth. Then the first digital camera was created. Other innovations were the first 35mm camera, the Twin Lens camera, and the instant-picture camera. The Polaroid Model 45 was the world's first instant picture camera. Then, the first true digital camera, the Fuji DS-1P, entered the scene."

From the Paper
"More than that, the technology that makes digital black and white photographs possible always runs the risk of becoming obsolete. For instance, the old Epson 2200, 7600, 9600 printers have been pushed aside by Epson Stylus Pro 4800, by the Epson Stylus Pro 7800, and by the Epson Stylus Pro 9800 (FLAAR Network, para.8); simply put, unlike the fairly low-maintenance prints rendered by analog cameras, the "splashy" digital B&W prints of today place photography enthusiasts in the uncomfortable position of seeking out new technological tools that have a (quite literally) a built-in obsolescence factor. Be that as it may, though, most photographers will gladly accept this trade-off if it means the chance to be more creative."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the history of photography. According to the paper, George Eastman introduced the first film roll in 1884 and the first camera called a Kodak, in 1888. The paper then goes on to discuss the digital camera and the development of photography.

From the Paper
"There were many attempts until the XIX century to capture drawings or images using the reaction to light, but the resulting work always deteriorated. In 1816 Joseph-Nicephore Niepce succeeded to capture the first negative images, using paper treated with silver chloride but failed to fixate the image. He managed to achieve positive images using a pewter plate covered with a petroleum derivative called bitumen of Judea . Although ti was successful there were still many problems to cover. He received the reversed image, and the exposure took hours to fixate the picture, which caused the sun to move and alter the position of the light. Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, interested in Niepce's work conducted his own researches. In 1835 he published his first results, called daguerreotype. This was a sheet of silver-coated copper, treated with iodine vapor. He achieved to reduce the exposure time to 30 minutes, achieving a barely visible image that he later revealed with mercury vapor and fixated with salty hot water. "

Abstract
For many, automated teller machines (ATMs) are simply a way of life. There were introduced nearly 20 years ago and today, many bank customers never go into a branch after opening their account. But today's ATM cards can also be used to make purchases at retail outlets and even on the World Wide Web, another innovation which was not envisioned 20 years ago. The videophone has become video conferencing, and cameras which use film may be made obsolete by cameras which use a floppy disk for recording images. Electronic pagers, once the purview of doctors and others who needed to be notified in case of emergencies, have now become commonplace and are used to summon diners to their table.

From the Paper
"Historically, the PLC of digital cameras required massive investments in development, launch onto the market, growth, support at maturity stages and revival in decline. Today, most of the investments are made in development, introduction and sales. Sony and its competitors understood the futility of trying to support a declining product in an era of rapid technological innovations. As such, most of the financial resources and time is spent on research and development of newer technologies and their integration within products that will further increase customer satisfaction."
