Was Thomas Edison the INVENTOR or the CO-INVENTOR of the motion picture camera?

He did have something to do with the motion picture camera, right?Was Thomas Edison the INVENTOR or the CO-INVENTOR of the motion picture camera?The Cinematographe made motion pictures very popular, and it could be better be said that Lumiere's invention began the motion picture era. In 1895, Lumiere and his brother were the first to present projected, moving, photographic, pictures to a paying audience of more that one person.



The Lumiere brothers were not the first to project film. In 1891, the Edison company successfully demonstrated the Kinetoscope, which enabled one person at a time to view moving pictures.

Later in 1896, Edison showed his improved Vitascope projector and it was the first commercially, successful, projector in the U.S..

(no pun intended.)Was Thomas Edison the INVENTOR or the CO-INVENTOR of the motion picture camera?Edison was granted a patent for the motion picture camera or "Kinetograph". He did the electromechanical design, while his employee W.K.L. Dickson, a photographer, worked on the photographic and optical development. Much of the credit for the invention belongs to Dickson.
