There is a reason why they were called box cameras !:

The Kodak motto was genius:

The Kodak Bantam Special was a really cool looking camera:

The weird thing is that the Bantam Special was an 828 camera - the film was 35 mm wide but it had a paper backing and it didn't have the sprocket holes along both edges. 828 film was basically gone even during the 1970s so that's one reason why I never even considered getting one.

My only sorta art deco Kodak camera is a Kodak Signet:

It's a wonderful camera - Kodak did good work, although at a high price. Sadly I stopped using it after buying the other cameras with light meters and other doo-dads :)

I have a CX7430 Kodak digital camera, still use it regularly, often for this blog.

I thought this was telling (the photo that killed the photo company didn't survive even as long as the company):

I just realized that those numbers at the lower left are the date the video was taken:
