World's first camera!

Hey guys! So I found this picture. I don't know if it's really the first camera or not, but it is an example of a pin-hole camera. I thought it was pretty cool next to the modern day camera. These cameras let in light to basically stain a piece of photo-reactive paper with the picture. How cool is that? Have you guys ever seen one of these? Or, whats the oldest camera your family owns? Let me know!

wow, this is actually pretty cool! i'm pretty sure the oldest camera my family owns is one from the 1980's or so. it's really big, and it takes a lot of equipment and space for it, as opposed to our modern-day, ultra-slim cameras. i wonder how cameras these days work?
