Best Answer

Cameras were available using dry gelatine plates since the 1870s, but it was not till George Eastman who developed paper film in 1885, and then celluloid film, was the first simple camera produced. It was called the "Kodak", a simple box camera with a fixed lens.

Answer:

Many names predate Kodak. Anthony (1842), Voightlander (1840's), Lerebours (1840's), American Optical Co.(before 1866), Scovill (at least as early as 1860's), dozens, perhaps hundreds more. The earliest US brand name was probably E. Anthony, but Alexander Wolcott took out the first US Patent on a camera in 1840, and produced at least some examples with his name impressed upon them.
