When was the earliest camera in the world invented by who?

The earliest camera in the world was invented by Jules Jean Sang in 1874.

1874, Jules Jean Sang of France invented the camera. He wound the photosensitive film on a toothed film supply reel. Under the control of the pendulum mechanism, the film supply tray moves intermittently in the circular film supply box, and the pendulum mechanism drives the shutter to rotate.

Every time the film stops, the shutter opens for exposure. Janssen connected this camera to a telescope, which can take a set of photos of planetary motion at the speed of one per second. Janssen named it a photographic gun, which is the originator of modern movie camera +Y6R.
