The Invention: Eastman Kodak in Cameras
Although cameras have been in use since the 17th century, the Kodak came about in 1888, invented by George Eastman. Kodak is a dry, transparent, and flexible, photographic film or rolled photography film made of celluloid. It was the first rolled-film for camera used in Kodak cameras that we know, and most likely, have used a lot prior the proliferation of the latest digital cameras.
Eastman's roll-film was made by the Eastman Dry Plate Company in Rochester, New York, USA. The Kodak became the most popular camera that time. Eastman invented the famous phrase, "You press the button, we do the rest." What this meant was: all that owners of Kodak camera had to do was shoot all the negatives and mail the camera back to Eastman factories, and technicians were ever ready to develop the pictures. At the height of Kodak's popularity, practically everyone tried to afford one.
