hey all, I am doing a research paper on the history of cameras (ought to be easy enough :P). I was wondering if anyone on the forums here had any insight into the History of Cameras they would like to share.

Like what? Recite the history starting with the greek camera obscura?

If you consult your nearest library, there's gonna be at least 10 books on history of photography.

About Canon, try this for starters: http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/index.html

http://www.google.com/search?q=camera+history&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official might help too :)

Check out History of Photography by Peter Turner. It's a great book on the history of Photography.
