The Kodak Instamatic 300 is a viewfinder camera. It existed in 1963 from 1966, and its price was $44.50 at the time.
A selenium light meter was installed in the camera with two exposure times. In terms of design, the Instamatic 300 is reminiscent of the Instamatic 100.
The camera was designed for the 127 format of the photo pioneer from America. Unfortunately, the films are no longer produced. There is no alternative.
