The Kodak Disc camera

Following the court case against Kodak by Polariod regarding indringements of intellectual property in their Instant Camera, a camera replacement scheme was set up so you could have cash or a new Kodak camera so in 1986 I ended up with this.

It doesn't look like a camera which shows the basic difference between this and any traditional film camera, the film is neither on a roll or cartridge with two spools the film moves across.

Instead each film frame in mounted on a wheel housed in a sealed disc caddy you clip on and clip off to change.

That wasa promotional ad for it and it is pretty much child proof with a fixed focus lens, auto flash and open/close button and you're done.

It worked the the prints had a hazy, fuzzy quality which was good for somethings but not for anything with fine detail.

I used it during the period I was reexaming my childhood, taking pictures of people and places that mattered but as we entered the 1990's I got a 35mm compact camera that gave higher quality prints.
