The '''Instamatic 804''' is a 1965 update to the [[Kodak Instamatic 800 | Instamatic 800]] as the top model in [[Kodak]]'s line of [[126 film | 126 film cartridge]] models. As before it has a [[Rangefinder (device) | coupled rangefinder]] and spring-powered film advance, tensioned using a "pull tape" emerging from the bottom of the camera. The main change is adopting the then-new [[Flashbulbs#Flashcubes | flashcubes]] and omitting the previous single-flashbulb reflector panel.

The Instamatic 804 is a 1965 update to the Instamatic 800 as the top model in Kodak's line of 126 film cartridge models. As before it has a coupled rangefinder and spring-powered film advance, tensioned using a "pull tape" emerging from the bottom of the camera. The main change is adopting the then-new flashcubes and omitting the previous single-flashbulb reflector panel.

Automatic aperture control is once again controlled via a selenium meter panel above the lens, which would be replaced in 1968's Instamatic 814 by a CdS cell.
