Kodak Instamatic 25
Shorter but slightly taller than most other 126 Instamatics, this camera seems to have been designed by a different team to all the others in the range. Sunny/cloudy exposure settings and a "hot-shoe" for the Instamatic Flasholder complete the specification of this little camera. The one pictured above is actually a "camara", having been produced in Spain, though they were produced in the UK as well, both with all-black writing and with a separate Kodak logo, as seen below. I have also seen reference to this model having been produced in the Argentine, Brazil and Australia, indeed about 10 variations have been noted. A premium version was available as the Instamatic 26.
