KODAK 110 CAMERAS

(1996) It looks just like a 35mm Point & Shoot, but it's really a 110 camera -- made for kids (or dog-crazed adults!). The front is covered with dalmations, of course, and it has a built-in flash -- which is turned on and off with a switch. It has a 22mm f7 lens which switches to f11 for flash use. The shutter is set at 1/125. It has a sliding lens cover which also locks the shutter release.
(1980) It is simply marked "BROWNIE CAMERA" on the front, but it came in a few varieties. It was simply a late version of the Kodak Pocket Instamatic A-1 of 1978, and has an unusual boxy shape for a 110 camera with a simple, one button operation. But then most of Kodak's Brownies were designed for simple operation. It was made by Kodak Limited, a subsidiary, which sold cameras largely in other markets -- in this case mainly the UK and Australia. Its advanced features include a viewfinder, and that it takes a flip-flash. Depending on your point-of-view, there were different versions, although Kodak Limited labelled all of them, "Brownie Camera". The original was probably just a rebadged Kodak Pocket A-1 with a 25mm, single element, f11 lens, and a 1/60 shutter speed. But like the Pocket A-1, there were variations. Some had a black shutter release button while others sported a yellow button. Some have a black plate around the lens, while others are silver. Also, the script is slightly different on some models. Some have been seen with a handle/front cover -- similar to other Kodak 110 cameras. A few were made in brown and gold, possibly as gifts, promotions, or store display purposes.
(1986) Kodak Limited came out with modified version of the Kodak Brownie Cross (see below), and called it the "Kodak Brownie II". It is just a rebadged Kodak 110 Brownie Cross that was sold in a non-US market, so it is hard to find -- unless you are friends with an ardent Kodak Brownie collector!
(1993) Focus-free lens. It has a rather long 28mm lens and a 1/125 shutter. Oddly enough, it has a motor drive for fast film advance and a large, flip-up flash for red-eye reduction. It was designed just for 400 speed film and uses two AA batteries. Why it was called the Cameo instead of the Cobra, we will never know.
(1985) A year before they released the Brownie II, Kodak Limited came out with an advanced version of the original 110 Brownie Camera (see above), and called it the "Kodak Cross", instead of the "Brownie II Camera". Unlike its predecessor, it has the standard 110, "flat" body-style, and now has a 22mm, single element, f11 lens, with shutter speeds from 1/50 to 1/250. Also, in this model, the speed is set by the film cartridge -- either 100 or 400. It also has a switch on the top for sunny or flash -- which changes the exposure setting. It came with a built-in camera cover -- similar to other Kodak 110 cameras. It was mainly sold in Brazil -- which is a strongly Catholic country. My guess is that they thaught that the name -- "CROSS" -- would help sales.

(1978) Top of the line Kodak 110. Five shutter speeds from 1/30 - 1/350. This was Kodak's most versatile pocket camera -- equal to almost any photo situation, yet small enough to fit in your pocket. The lens is extraordinary -- a super-fast 25mm (f1.9) four-element lens. It was one of the speed-demons of the submini world. Wide open and stopped down, it can produce negatives with edge-to-edge sharpness. One reason is this Kodak lens is designed with an aspheric element -- a design usually limited to expensive lenses. The viewfinder is little short of amazing in a 110 pocket camera. It's large, bright and displays 110% of the picture area, which is outlined by a projected reticle with parallax correction. Focusing aids and exposure data are also clearly visible at all times. You can focus and adjust the camera without taking it from your eye. The tiny integral flash has an effective range of 20 feet with ASA 400 film. It recycles in an astonishingly brief two seconds with fresh batteries. In many ways this "can-do" camera from Kodak is a joy to handle. The shutter release is firm and precise. The smoothly operating focus wheel fits nicely under your fingertip. And there's a sliding lens/viewfinder cover you can't misplace.
(1978) 25mm f8 lens with fixed focus from 5 feet to infinity. Shutter speed set by film cartridge. Speeds of 1/60 with flash (built-in), 1/125 with ISO 100 and 1/210 at ISO 400. Ready light in viewfinder. Built-in flash.

(1980) That's right, the 500 came out before the 400. It features a 22mm F5.6 with built-in electronic flash. Exposure is fully automatic with red/green LED indicators in the Viewfinder for "OK Shoot/Don't Shoot without Flash" simplicity. The most impressive feature of the camera is its lens - a multi-coated Reomar lens from Schneider Kreuznach of Germany -- an unexpectedly high quality lens for a 110 camera.
(1984) Bare-bones 110 with large, rubber-padded ends -- for kids.
(1987) Fuji was so successful with one-use cameras in Japan that Kodak decided to get into the game with this 110.
