Kodak Instamatic 100
The Kodak Instamatic 100 is a 126 cartridge film camera introduced in the early 1960s as part of Kodak's Instamatic line, which used drop-in film cartridges to simplify loading. It was sold as an entry-level snapshot camera aimed at casual users rather than enthusiasts.
Today the Instamatic 100 is a low-value collector item, with a single recorded UK auction hammer result at £106 (wholesale, before commission). With only one data point on file, that figure is indicative rather than a reliable median, and the price a clean example actually sells for in 2026 will depend heavily on condition, presentation and whether the original case is included.

On the limited UK auction data available, an Instamatic 100 has sold for around £106 at hammer, though with only one recorded sale this should be read as a guide price rather than a firm value.
How much does a Kodak Instamatic 100 sell for at auction?
The one tracked UK saleroom result shows a hammer price of £106, which sits at the low end typical for entry-level 1960s snapshot cameras.
Is the Kodak Instamatic 100 still usable?
It was built for 126 cartridge film, which is no longer manufactured by Kodak, so most examples are bought for display or collection rather than active shooting.
