Roll Film

1948–1992 · 8 cameras

Polaroid's original camera line using roll-based instant film. The journey began with the Model 95 in 1948 — the world's first commercially available instant camera. These cameras used a peel-apart process requiring manual timing.

Pack Film

1963–1992 · 8 cameras

Introduced in 1963 with the Model 100, pack film cameras replaced unwieldy rolls with flat film packs. The folding bellows design became iconic, and the series included both affordable consumer models and high-end professional cameras.

SX-70

1972–1981 · 8 cameras

The SX-70 system revolutionized instant photography with the first integral film — no peeling, no waste, no timing. The original SX-70 folding SLR, designed by Henry Dreyfuss, is considered one of the most important cameras ever made.

600 Series

1981–2007 · 10 cameras

The 600 series brought instant photography to the masses with affordable, easy-to-use cameras and higher-speed film. From the premium SLR 680 to the ubiquitous OneStep, this was Polaroid's most commercially successful line.

Spectra / Image

1986–2004 · 6 cameras

The Spectra system (marketed as "Image" outside North America) featured a wider rectangular format and advanced electronics. It represented Polaroid's premium consumer line of the late 1980s and 1990s.

Captiva & Pocket

1993–2021 · 5 cameras

Compact formats from Polaroid's later years, including the Captiva/Vision series, the novelty i-Zone, the disposable PopShots, and the modern Polaroid Go — the smallest analog instant camera ever made.

i-Type

2016–present · 8 cameras

The modern Polaroid era, beginning with The Impossible Project's I-1 and continuing under Polaroid B.V. with the OneStep 2, Now, Now+, I-2, and Flip. These cameras use i-Type film — 600-compatible but battery-free.
