The History Of Kodak Cameras
George Eastman was the inventor of the Kodak camera, it was named Kodak due to the sound it made when one pressed the shutter button. It made a KoDak sound. Eastman noticed that the sound of the K when pressed was very strong so he noticed the sound quickly and came up with the name Kodak.
Eastman found photography to be a very interesting new technology it was something amazing it gave the owner of a camera the ability to take photographs of something then be able to look at them as if it was happening in front of your eyes years after it had happened.
When Eastman was attempting to come up with a name for the camera, he did not want to name it after himself, he decided against Eastman, but he remembered the sound of the camera, and decided upon choosing it due to its signature sound. That is how the word "Kodak" was created and used for the cameras invented by Eastman.
The very first Kodak camera made by George Eastman was manufactured by himself. It was made of various different types of wood and contained so much film that one would be able to take over 100 images. When the owner had taken all of the pictures he would need to post the camera to Eastman and he would himself remove the light sensitive film and develop the images for them, he would then send the camera back with the developed photos and the camera with new film in it.
It can be very difficult to find Kodak Cameras. You can only really find them at museums or owned by private collectors. However our store finds the various cameras from antique stores and the rare sales from private collectors for you and sell them to you at very good prices.
