Disc Camera


Disc Camera


Disc cameras were invented in the 1980's but never really became popular with the general public. They were made by Kodak in 1982.The disc camera was made for an inexperienced photographer as the camera easy to use and was automated. It was also quite a small and compact.
The film for the camera was a flat, circular cassette which could hold fifteen pictures that rotated 24 degrees over a spool in the camera. The negative of the photos were 8.2mm x 10.6mm.


Since the negative of the photos quite low, the photos of the disc camera were of low quality, small and grainy. Disc cameras didn't sell well so Kodak stopped making the cameras in the late 1980's and they were the last company to sell them.
