Kodak Cameras

Kodak is perhaps the most recognizable names in the camera and photo industry.

Kodak cameras have a long and storied history in America, dating back to 1881 when George Eastman and Henry Strong founded "Eastman Dry Plate Company." That was the company that produced the very first cameras suitable for personal use, such as the Kodak Brownie and Instamatic cameras. The first simple roll camera line produced by Eastman Dry Plate Company was known as Kodak. That camera was such an big success that the company decided to use the word Kodak as the company name.

The word Kodak was invented by George Eastman, and it had no particular meaning at the time. Of course now, it's a trademarked name, but George Eastman just liked the way it sounded. His favorite letter was "K" and he claimed he liked it because it was a "stong, decisive letter." George Eastman decided on the name Kodak because he wanted a name that was short, could not be mispronounced, and could not resemble or be associated with anything but Kodak.

Today, Kodak is still the world's largest supplier of film to both the professional and amateur markets.
