  kodak classics - mischa koning
Until the introduction of the "Kodapak" cartridge in 1963, with it's associated "Instamatic" brand-name, cameras aimed at the consumer market were almost universally roll-film models, with all the inherent problems of loading that that type of film incurs.
The first Instamatic to be marketed was the Instamatic 50, on sale in the UK some weeks before the Instamatic 100 was launched in the USA.
The term Instamatic went into general usage to describe any easy-to-use basic camera, which rather detracts from a range that included an interchangeable-lens SLR, several range-finder cameras, and many with top-quality lenses from the likes of Rodenstock and Schneider-Kreuznach, as well as Kodak's own renowned Ektar.

  Instamatic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instamatic was the name of a long-running series of inexpensive, easy-to-load 126 and 110 cameras made by Kodak beginning in 1963.
The Instamatic was immensely successful, introducing a generation to low-cost photography and spawning numerous imitators.
The first Instamatic to be released was the Instamatic 50, which appeared in the UK in February 1963, about a month before the 100.

 Dean M. Peterson; helped develop the Instamatic camera | The San Diego Union-Tribune
Peter-son was employed by Eastman Kodak Co. in Rochester, N.Y., when he pioneered the Kodak Instamatic, which became the world's most popular camera after its introduction in 1963.
Priced at under $20 and featuring a flash cube, the early Instamatic models practically replaced old box cameras as they reached 50 million in sales in their first seven years.
Peterson's work on the Instamatic was recognized in 1975, when he received a fellowship from the Society for Imaging Science and Technology for outstanding achievements in imaging science or engineering.

 Kodak Pocket Instamatic 60
At the low end, the Model 20 was a simplistic box camera shrunk down to pocketable dimensions; at the high end, for that time, the Model 60 could almost be considered professional grade in terms of quality of construction and advanced features previously unheard of in such a small camera.
All of the Pocket Instamatic (PI) cameras were revolutionary in terms of their sheer size and light weight: they were not concealable by any means, in comparison to the Minox that could disappear into a closed fist, or even a Minolta 16, which could be completely covered by the palm of most hands.
Covert or ultra candid photography was not what the PI cameras were designed for; however they were eminently portable cameras, the most portable, hugely mass marketed cameras made to date, and this was a keystone to their ultimate success.

 126 Instamatic film in the Frugal Photographer catalog
Reliable estimates of the number of 126 Instamatic type cameras manufactured between 1963 and the 1990's are in the tens of millions.
The Kodak Instamatic 500, an expensive, premium-quality camera made in Germany with a Gossen meter and Schneider-Kreutznach Xenar lens, selling for $94.50 in 1963 (equivalent to something like $500 today), is reported to have sold more than a half-million units.
126 Instamatic cartridges originally gave either 12 or 24 28mm square images per roll, but due to the cropping effects of photofinishers' printing equipment and slide mounts, it is the central 26mm square portion of the negative that is printed.

Instamatic Web currently supports either text files (ending in.txt) or html files (ending in.html).
The main difference between the two is that html files will assume that you know what you’re doing, and have formatted the contents of the file in html already, whereas text files will generally not contain html (although they can!) and will be formatted according to Textile’s web text generator rules.
You shouldn’t need to edit anything in that file for Instamatic Web to work, but if you want to change anything like the color of your webpages, or add a background image, or change the font your webpages use, all of that information is located in your style sheet.

 Introduction to 110 Cameras
First let me explain that my disdain for the 110 Instamatic cartridge film format stemmed largely from my bad experiences with them, but I've discussed these experiences with a number of photographers over the years and found that they have noticed this as well.
It appeared that the problem lies in the film traveling in channels in the cartridge itself that seemingly prevents it from being held perfectly flat at the film plane during at the moment of exposure.
I found this to be the case, disappointingly enough, even when shooting a Minolta Autopak 70 camera (which I absolutely loved) and even a Pentax Auto 110 SLR system camera (which I adored, as a concept…and soon sold, such was my disappointment with the quality of the resulting photographs), among other 110 cameras.

Indeed, the Instamatic Reflex was one of the last cameras to come out under the Retina marquee.
The Instamatic cartridge was released in 1963 and lasted until 1988 when the last Instamatic camera was sold in the U.S. The problem was the plastic Instamatic film cartridge could not hold the film flat enough for good optical performance and the actual frame size was too small for even moderate enlargement.
The 45mm f/2.8 Retina-Xenar that came with the Instamatic is not rangefinder-cammed, so you can't use it for the IIIs rangefinder.

But don't expect the best pictures you've ever taken, which is why we're comparing it to an instamatic camera.
This could be the camera you drop into a pocket at the last minute before heading out for a hike, or maybe a first digital camera for kids interested in taking pictures.
