My first personal camera was the Kodak Instamatic Camera first released in 1963 when I was 10. It was a popular aim and shoot camera with an easy to use 126 film cartridge. The cartridge avoided the need to tread the film onto a spool as in earlier cameras. This popular camera followed in the tradition of earlier basic cameras such as the brownie. It had an external flash unit containing single use flash bulbs. I recall this flash unit later improved with a rotatable built in multiple flash bulbs rather than having to insert them.

It and (and a later version) was my go to camera for many years for colour slide photography mostly of a family nature.before I moved on to movie photography(initially silent).
