Early 1900s in COLOUR (a sampling). "In the early part of the 20th century French-Jewish capitalist Albert Kahn set about to collect a photographic record of the world, the images were held in an 'Archive of the Planet'. Before the 1929 stock market crash he was able to amass a collection of 180,000 metres of b/w film and more than 72,000 autochrome plates, the first industrial process for true colour photography." The
whole enchilada.

Objective measurements of RAW images are an essential basis for any analysis of digital cameras, but such measurements were neither possible nor available
until now. DxO Labs has developed a new scale for digital camera image quality performance, called
DxOMark Sensor, to serve as an additional tool to help photographers rank and compare digital cameras. This scale is based on three underlying metrics, Color Depth, Dynamic Range and Low-Light ISO, each one tied to a real-life photographic scenario: landscape, studio & portrait, and photojournalism & sport. (This application requires Flash™ as it uses
FusionCharts.) Hours of fun sorting the data by the various metrics, including $$$.
