Item is a snapshot camera for instant photographs using Kodak PR10 instant film. It was originally sold for $75.00 .

Kodak recalled all their instant cameras, offering customers a new camera or a rebate in exchange. A further, class action, lawsuit by consumers followed, resulting in Kodak further offering cash or credit for the return of the Kodak nameplate.
