This Colorburst 250 was manufactured by Kodak and introduced in 1979 then discontinued in 1982. The camera has an f/1:12.8 100mm fixed focus lens. The shutter was capable of speeds of 2 seconds to 1/300 of a second. The camera used Kodak’s PR-10 instant film but Fuji did make a film that could be used with the camera. Other features are the built in flash, optical viewfinder, rainbow carry strap, and a ¼ inch 20 thread tripod socket. The camera needs 6 volts and that was supplied by 4 AA batteries held in a compartment in the back. The Colorburst line was Kodak's answer to the Polaroid instant cameras...but Polaroid wasn't so happy about it! They sued Kodak for patent infringement and won (still the largest patent infringement case in history), Kodak was ordered to stop producing all their instant film and instant film cameras. Kodak gave the money back to owners of the camera after losing to Polaroid but only if you sent in the front name plate and so many of these cameras are without it. The settlement involved four groups of instant cameras made by Kodak with ten cameras in group 1 ($50), fourteen in group 2 ($55), six in group 3 ($60), and nine in group 4 ($70) for a total of 39 cameras. The Colorburst 250 was in the group 3 and the money was a combination of cash, 1 stock in Kodak, new camera replacement, and or redeemable Kodak coupons.
