Brownie

The name given to a line of inexpensive point-and-shoot cameras produced by the Eastman Kodak corporation. In the year 1900, the first Brownie camera was released to the public with the goal of making photography less complicated and more accessible to more people. The names of the cameras are based on the cartoon characters that were conceived of and drawn by Palmer Cox.
