History

The Polaroid SX-70, while popular upon release in 1972, was considered expensive at a cost of $180. Polaroid eventually created significantly less expensive alternatives: rigid plastic Presto, and the OneStep series. With a release price of $40, the Land Camera 1000 became the best-selling camera of the 1977 Christmas shopping season. Later, Polaroid released Type 600 integral series cameras, utilizing the same film format and cartridge but with a different film formulation.
