This pocket camera was in picture for several years but as technology moved ahead, innovations were also seen in the cameras.
Another great milestone was achieved with the launch of Brownie Camera in 1900.
This was one of the most affordable cameras that introduced the masses to the real world of photography.
It was there in limelight for about more than 70 years with continuous advancements.
Later on, technology started progressing rapidly and the world of photography witnessed a new dawn.
This dawn was a lovely experience of a new introduction that is popularly known as the digital cameras.
In the modern era film rolls have completely transformed into digital formats offering extra convenience to the masses.
