The Captiva (or Vision) series of cameras from Polaroid were SLRs in a rather odd shape. They used Type 500 film which had an image size of 73x54mm, ISO 600, and 10 pictures to a pack. They were produced from 1993-1997.
Captiva/Vision
- SLR (Single-Lens Reflex) design.
- Lens: 107mm f/12 (3 plastic elements).
- Shutter: electronic; range 1/4 - 1/180 sec.
- Autofocus, but not "Sonar"; only 2 focus zones. Nearest focus is 2 ft.
- No manual focus control possible.
- Integrated automatic flash (cannot be overridden manually).
- Pictures are ejected into a transparent "storage chamber" in the back of the camera; to be removed at any time.
- Built-in self-timer.
- Folding body is unlike the SX-70.
Captiva/Vision SE
- Same as Captiva above, but with glass lens.
- Date function.
Polaroid Pop Shots
This was the world's first ever single-use instant camera. It was "disposable" but used Captiva 500 instant film. These are now rare, since used examples were disposed of.
- Lens: unknown (probably single-element plastic with a focal length of less than 100mm).
- Shutter: electronic.
- Fixed focus.
- Built-in electronic flash. (Switched on/off manually, but flash exposure appears to be automatic (quenched when correct exposure time is achieved).
- Flash/Daylight switch also changes the lens aperture via a simple stop.
- Manual print ejection via a pull-ring at the side of the camera.
- Camera was not intended for user reloading, but was packaged with a prepaid mailer (USA) for return to Polaroid for recycling. Customer was sent a refund coupon in exchange for the returned camera. European users were directed to return the camera to their local dealer, for which Polaroid would make a small contribution to a charity.
