  1. This fuking video is full of misleading information. Why do people do this? If you are going to make a history video, please do some research to verify your information is accurate. I can't believe this people did this inaccurate video. WTF?

  2. I wonder why they went from the sort of colored pictures that Robert Cornelius took (you can see that his coat is blue) to the boring 100% black and white ones. Plus in Cornelius' picture you can see a bit more detail in his face and hair, compared to Poe's picture for example, which looks much more washed out/less detailed.

  3. The reason why photography is valuable is primarily in its ability to record people and events for future study. Early black and white photos are still around because the medium is extremely durable. Photographs taken today do not actually exist in physical form at all unless they are printed, and most of the printing techniques in use today are very fugitive. In 100 years, nearly all photographs printed by modern techniques will have faded to nothing, and as for digital – who can say whether we will have machines capable of even reading our digital media in the future?
    If companies like Apple have their way, nothing from the past will ever be preserved beyond the current fiscal quarter – not without paying them a fee, at least.
    If we are to truly preserve our life and culture for the future to study, we will have to rely on traditional film to do it. Digital is going to prove to be a gigantic mistake.

  4. Kodak introduced the DCS camera backs for Nikon in the early "90s. I had a chance to see one in action, and try it out. The owner said it cost him over 20 grand. It was a whopping 6MP. I later purchased the Kodak DC120 when it was released in 1997, which boasted a mind blowing 1.2MP (interpolated). Around the same time Fuji had a competing model that was a true 1 MP. Kodak indeed had digital cameras long before 2004. They just sucked at it.
