Kodak Hawkeye Disc 7000 (1985)
Documentation on the Kodak Hawkeye Disc 7000 is thin. Here is what the record shows. Kodak made it in 1985 as a disc camera, and according to The Kodak Camera List it ran for a single year. It used the proprietary VR disc film format, Kodak's flat, circular cartridge holding 15 small exposures. Kodak had introduced that system in February 1982.
Almost nothing else is documented. No lens, shutter or technical specifications have surfaced. No original price is recorded, and no period reviews have turned up. The camera sits in the Kodak Disc lineup of the mid-1980s, but its position relative to models like the Disc 4000 or Disc 8000 isn't clear from available sources. A replacement battery is still sold for it, listed on Amazon as far back as December 2022. That suggests the camera used a small battery for flash or motor drive, but the specifics aren't documented.
Surviving examples show up occasionally at auction. Two Ukrainian listings show asking prices of $11 and $5, which makes it an inexpensive curiosity-piece camera rather than a sought-after classic.
