The Kodak Instamatic 100 is a viewfinder camera. It was built by Kodak in the USA and Great Britain (UK).

It was introduced in 1963, making it one of the first 126-Instamatic cameras. In 1966, the production of the Instamatic 100 came to an end. The regular price at the time was $15.95.

In terms of form factor, it is very similar to the Instamatic 50. Due to the fact that much of it is made of metal, it is much heavier than the all-plastic cameras in the Instamatic line.

The functions are also comparable or identical to the Instamatic 50. The 43 mm lens has an aperture of f/11. The focus is set directly and cannot be changed. The photographer has a choice of two exposure times, 1/40 s and 1/90 s.

The viewfinder camera does not have a light meter. Instead, there is a built-in flash for AG-1 flash bulbs.

The 126 films needed for the Instamatic 100 are no longer in production. There is no alternative, so you can't take pictures with the camera today.

The design of the camera is by Frank A. Zagara.
