  Instamatic
The Kodak Instamatic series of box cameras was introduced in 1963, and featured an easy load film cartridge and initially, a pop-up flash holder.
A few of other models soon followed, including the 400 which featured a clockwork automatic film advance and automatic exposure bsaed on a selenium light meter, and the aluminum chassis 800 with rangefiner based focus in addition to clockwork winding and light meter.
The Instamatic was an instant success; more than 50 million Instamatic cameras were produced between 1963 and 1970.

 pocket10
The Kodak Pocket Instamatic 10 was the base no-frills camera in the Pocket Instamatic line introduced in the early 1970s.
The Pocket Instamatic 10 lacked a shutter lock, lens cap and tripod socket, but did feature a used Magicube bulb warning indicator which took the form of a red bar appearing in the viewfinder.
Similar incarnations of the Pocket Instamatic 10, each appearing identical in size and shape, include the promotional Hawkeye Instamatic, which had a tan finish; the original Mickey-Matic which came in nauseating bright colors; the pastel colored Gimini cameras of the late 1980s, and 1988’s Winner, which was introduced to coincide with the Olympic games.

 Test Drive: Logitech Pocket Digital
This brushed-aluminum point-and-shooter not only fits in your pocket, it fits in the credit-card compartment of your wallet - it's no larger than a laptop's PC Card, half an inch thick and 1.8 ounces -- yet snaps and stores over 50 images before needing to be emptied (images uploaded to your PC).
Easily mistaken for a business-card holder, the Pocket Digital measures 3.5 by 2.25 by 0.5 inches closed - you turn it on by sliding the case open, increasing its length by half an inch and revealing the viewfinder and tiny fixed-focus (F/3.8, equivalent to 47mm on a 35mm film camera) lens.
The same goes for the Pocket Digital's Instamatic-style fixed/infinite focus, although shots at its closest range (about two feet), while hardly as sharp as the macro-mode closeups of more costly digital cameras, were often a pleasant surprise.

 Flashbulbs.com - Phillips 8
The PFC4 flash unit is used on instamatic, pocket, and instant cameras which carry a battery, needed for ignition of the flashbulbs.
The magicube, however, developed for use on other series of instamatic and pocket cameras, does not require a battery for ignition.
A flashbulb is fired mechanically by a striker which is released from its mounting in the base of the magicube by a percussion system built in the camera.

 110 film
The film is pre-exposed with frame lines and numbers, a feature intended to make it easier and more efficient for photofinishers to print.
The 110 cartridge was introduced by Kodak in 1972 together with their Pocket Instamatic cameras.
The new pocket-sized cameras became immediately popular, and in a short time displaced competing subminiature cameras[?], such as the Minolta[?] 16 series, from the market.

The Kodak 60 was the top of the line Pocket Instamatic 110 in the world when the new smaller Instamatic 110 film was introduced in 1972.

The 60 was the only original Instamatic 110 to feature rangefinder focusing, with a fine performing 26/2.7 Ektar lens.

 Kodak Pocket Instamatic 60
It is no exaggeration that the Model 60 sealed the success of the new format, as over 20 million Pocket Instamatics have been produced over the years from just about all the well-known camera producers around the world.
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.

 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.

The Instamatic won a Certificate of Design Merit from the Industrial Designers Institute, and was produced until 1966.

In 1965 Kodak Instamatic Cameras were introduced to the American public.
Pocket Instamatic Cameras hit the shelves of department stores in the 1970s.
The size of the camera and its small negative were made possible by the introduction of new color films capable of providing good enlargements and the success of the camera was, at least partially due to the ready availability of film processing.

 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.

COLLEGE STATION -- The pocket instamatic camera may not be a good choice for traditional wildlife photography, but they're great for "capturing the moments" of the hunt, according to San Angelo-based Extension wildlife specialist Dr. Dale Rollins.
"The small 35mm instamatics don't have the zoom capabilities necessary to take a picture of a buck at 50 yards," Rollins says, "but they're more than adequate for capturing related hunting scenes.
Scenes for the taking include the hunting camp, blinds, buddies, fall's colorful foliage, and of course the trophy of the hunt.

Argus C3 In the late 1970s, my first "real" 35 mm camera was a sturdy Argus C-3 Standard that my father handed down to me after I demonstrated a basic proficiency with a Kodak Pocket Instamatic 10.
The C-3 was an excellent camera to cut my teeth on as it was rugged, solidly constructed, and had real camera controls for setting the exposure and focus.
The C-33 serial numbers began with 1519100101, but like the Golden Shield, the ending serial number is not known.

In March 1972, Eastman Kodak announced a new film system called "Pocket Instamatic." Compared to the Instamatic 126 system's 13 x 17 mm picture size, the Pocket Instamatic was much smaller.

The camera also had a built-in date imprinting function, making it a high-end model.

These films and the cameras designed to use them were so easy to use that colour photography was no longer difficult; the photographer simply dropped the cartridge into the camera, shut the back and began taking pictures.
