Instamatic was Kodak's trademark name for their 126 cartridge film cameras, later also used, as Pocket Instamatic, for their 110 cartridge cameras. Instamatic cameras were launched in 1963, manufactured by Kodak in the US, by Kodak AG in Germany, in Spain and by Kodak Ltd in the UK. Kodak 126 Instamatics were a great success and sold around 60 million by 1976 - thus "Instamatic" became a generic term for cartridge-loading cameras.

Early Instamatics either had no flash facility, or a special flash adaptor; a few had a pop-up flash gun. Later models used Flashcubes.
