Kodak · USA

The Pocket Instamatic 20 was a straightforward, entry-level camera introduced by Kodak during the 1970s, likely around the early to mid-decade, as part of their hugely successful Instamatic 110 series. Designed for maximum simplicity and affordability, it utilized the compact 110 cartridge film format, making photography incredibly accessible to the general public. Its plastic construction housed a basic fixed-focus lens and a simple shutter speed/aperture combination, typically centered around ISO 400 speed film. Operated via a single shutter button and basic framing via a simple viewfinder, the camera embodied Kodak's mass-market philosophy of point-and-shoot photography with minimal fuss or manual controls, focusing entirely on ease of use for casual snapshots and family memories.
