One may think that the “most expensive camera�? is a super high-tech digital camera with unbelievable specifications and stuffed with all possible and impossible innovations.
So, you will be surprised to hear that a Daguerreotype camera dating back to 1839 is likely to be the world’s most expensive camera and will be sold by auction in May 2007. The camera designed by Frenchman Susse Freres is incased in a sliding wooden box frame and is also supposed to be the oldest camera in the world, being a prize to collectors.
A Daguerreotype image is achieved by creating a direct image onto a polished silver surface. This way of photo making was one of the earliest in camera technology but its unconventional characteristics like the inability to make copies made it outdated within a decade.
Current holder of the most expensive camera is a scholar in the US who inherited it from his dad. The auction will start at $132,000 US, but the old and expensive camera expected to get over $1 million at the auction in Vienna, Austria.
