Polaroid One Series

The Polaroid One series is the last generation of Polaroid cameras for the 600 format. The first model was introduced in 2003.

The design differs quite clearly from previous generations. It could be described as a mix of a Polaroid 600, an Impulse, and one of the Image/Spectra cameras. Overall, it is very smooth and rounded. On the right side, depending on the model, there is a hand strap, like on the third generation of Polaroid 600 cameras, or an eyelet for a camera strap.

All Polaroid One (600) cameras have a built-in flash and automatically set the exposure time and aperture. The lens is a 100 mm fixed focal length with fixed focus. Depending on the model, the minimum focusing distance varies slightly. Some versions have a self-timer, a tripod thread, and a light/dark control.
