Kodak Cameo

A series of compact 35mm and 110 film cameras from Kodak, including fixed-focus, autofocus, and motorized variants, sold for casual snapshots.

Overview

The Kodak Cameo line covers several 35mm and 110 film cameras from the early 1990s. All of them are point-and-shoot. The base Kodak Cameo is a fixed-focus viewfinder camera for 35mm film. It has a 34mm f/5.6 lens and a fixed shutter speed of 1/125s. A manual switch sets film speed from ISO 100/200 to 400, and the flash is built in. Some users reported the flash mechanism failing when the camera back broke. The Cameo AF, made from 1994 to 1996, adds autofocus, automatic film advance and rewind, red-eye reduction, and a fold-out flash. The Cameo afm, also from 1994-1996, has autofocus and a "panoramic" mode. The Cameo Sharp Focus reads film speed from the DX code and works with ISO 100 to 1000 film. There are two 110 variants. The Cameo 110 sold for around $25 - $35 in 1993, and the Cameo Motor 110 came out the same year at $34.95. The Cameo Focus Free launched in 1993 at $52.95. It is a 35mm point-and-shoot, and no other specs are documented.
