Vintage movie cameras, projectors and accessories can still be used today to make home movies - or in some cases, even professional productions. The first 16mm home movie cameras were produced in the 1920s, and color film was introduced in the 1930s. Some of the best known names in vintage movie cameras and equipment include Bolex, Kodak, and Bell and Howell. As home movie camera technology improved, smaller formats like 8mm and Super 8 cameras were introduced, leading to even wider adoption of home cinematography, peaking in the 1950s and 1960s. After that, tape and video-based cameras and camcorders began to take over.
