Unknown for certain, but one of the earliest would have been Thomas Skaife's Pistolgraph of 1859 (which was preceeded by an earlier version for different plates in 1858).

Where did George Eastman invent film?

George Eastman did neither. What Eastman did do was establish a system that simplified Photography so that anyone who could afford his camera could take pictures. He invented a particular hand-held camera that required nothing more of the user than to point it and push the button, and he established the first commercial processing facilities to eliminate the need for the user to have his own darkroom. The first hand-held Eastman camera was the Eastman-Cossett Detective Camera of 1886, but it proved to be too expensive to manufacture, so only a few were produced. The first Kodak camera was introduced in 1888, and was an immediate success, in spite of the very high initial cost of $25 for the camera, and $10 to process the 100-image roll and reload the camera.
