Instamatic

For the film formats associated with the Instamatic and Pocket Instamatic camera ranges, see 126 film and 110 film respectively. Instamatic is a series of inexpensive and easy-to-use point-and-shoot cameras made by Kodak beginning in 1963. The cameras used 110 and 126 film cartridges, making the loading and unloading of film easier for the consumer. The Instamatic was immensely successful, introducing a generation to low-cost photography and spawning numerous imitators. During its heyday, the range was so ubiquitous that the Instamatic name is still frequently used as a generic term to refer to any inexpensive point-and-shoot camera. The X-15F was the last Instamatic camera sold in the United States, remaining on sale until 1988. Kodak also used the Instamatic name on some Super 8-based home-cine cameras.
