Hello!

I collect old cameras at thrift stores and just came upon a keystone
1030 disc camera. I've tried to do some research on it online but
can't seem to find anything. Does anyone know anything about this
camera and the film that is used with it?

Thanks!

The design of the Disc cameras (from any manufacturer) didn't really
vary much, so I expect it's typical of the breed:

Basically a fixed focus and exposure "Instamatic", which adds the
quality limitations of subminiature film  - but without the size
advantage. I have no idea what Kodak was thinking.

At least the Keystone had replaceable batteries. On the Kodak cameras,
you THREW THEM AWAY when the lithium battery died!
