The Ciné-Kodak was the first 16mm camera, introduced in 1923 by the Eastman Kodak Company, intended to be used for home movie making. It was solidly made with a diecast metal body and capacity for 100 feet of film, enough for four minutes. The camera was hand turned, although a motor drive unit was available. The Cine-Kodak outfits - camera, tripod, projector, splicer and screen - sold in America for $335. The apparatus was not cheap, but the running costs were very much lower than other systems, 16mm film cost about one fifth of the cost of equivalent 35mm film.
