Instamatic was Kodak's trademark name for their 126 cartridge film cameras, later also used, as Pocket Instamatic, for their 110 cartridge cameras, and for Super8 8mm movie 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.

The early Kodak Instamatic 50 had a special flash connector, other early Instamatics even no flash facility; a few had a pop-up flash gun. Later models used Flashcubes. Some of the later Pocket Instamatics had a flip flash connector instead.
