World's Oldest Camera

World's Oldest Camera Found

Did you hear that the oldest camera was auctioned for almost $ 800,000?

Yep, an 1839 daguerreotype camera, ancestor of modern photography, was recently sold at auction in Vienna for nearly $800,000 making it the world's oldest and most expensive commercial photographic apparatus.

Heck, maybe a lot of us have sold our Hasselblad cameras way too soon - we should have waited until the year 2175! (from Nichols News)
