About this checklist
Polaroid invented instant photography. Edwin Land's first commercial Land Camera, the Model 95, went on sale in 1948, and over the following decades the company released hundreds of models, from folding pack-film Land Cameras to the cheap and cheerful Swinger.
The SX-70 of 1972 introduced integral film that developed in your hand, and the 600 series of the 1980s, with cameras such as the Sun 600, OneStep and The Button, made Polaroid a household name. Later systems included Spectra (Image in Europe), Captiva (Vision) and the small-format i-Zone and JoyCam.
This checklist groups the main Polaroid cameras and families. Each entry shows photos from Save All collectors and how many of them own one. Add your cameras in the app to track your Polaroid collection.
