I was playing yesterday's TimeGuessr puzzle, and they had this photo. It's from 1983. It shows Montreal Expos catcher Gary Carter and a big crowd around him.
What jumped out at me weren't just the four obvious cameras, but they're all 110 "pocket" Instamatics!
The camera in the upper left looks like the one I had.
Carter is holding something. Maybe a camera, but not a 110?

My wife stumbled across her dad's old Instamatic camera, and discovered it still had film in it, which we worked out has been in the camera since at least 1983. Found a local place that still develops 126 Kodacolor cartridges (Picture Perfect Photo Lab, Albuquerque), and not expecting much, took it in.
To my eye, the negatives are just a weird green with a few barely-visible streaks. But after digitizing and doing some heavy processing in Darktable and Gimp, I was able to get a identifiable image out of every frame.
Can't complain given the film was exposed over 40 years ago and has been sitting in the hot garage and who knows what other environments since then.

This is one of the few selfies I've taken. Finally posted on social media. Definitely a boomer.
Kodak Instamatic 1967. Fixed focus, i.e.not manual nor automatic.

Weather has been good enough that I managed to pop into the city to begin to finish off a part used (5 exposures) 126 cartridge film in an old Kodak Instamatic I got some months back. Yep F8 or F11 fixed focus square negative, 24 exposure. You forget how spoiled we are with wide angle lenses these days. Step back, further, even further...you're in the river... #film #FilmIsNotDead #FilmIsJustHavingANap #126 #photography

Farfar skaffet seg et veldig enkelt Agfa #Isolette i da han var i tysklandsbrigaden. Isolette var et mellomformats belgkamera, selvsagt uten avstand- og lysmåler. Dette kameraet brukte han til seint 70-tallet og ga langt bedre bilder enn #Instamatic o.l. de brukte senere.

I've been waiting my whole life for a #ShittyCameraChallenge so i can share this 1977 #photograph (#selfie) taken with a shitty #PinholeCamera that came in the back of a box of #CocoaPebbles cereal.
I think i'd just gotten that #StarWars tshirt after seeing the movie.
Ok, now i have to dig out my shitty 126 #instamatic and find some film for it to take a new photo for the
