<P> The use of photographic film was pioneered by George Eastman , who started manufacturing paper film in 1885 before switching to celluloid in 1888 - 1889 . His first camera , which he called the `` Kodak , '' was first offered for sale in 1888 . It was a very simple box camera with a fixed - focus lens and single shutter speed , which along with its relatively low price appealed to the average consumer . The Kodak came pre-loaded with enough film for 100 exposures and needed to be sent back to the factory for processing and reloading when the roll was finished . By the end of the 19th century Eastman had expanded his lineup to several models including both box and folding cameras . </P>
