The EE100 Special is one of Polaroid's second generation of folding, 100-series packfilm cameras. It is a variant of the EE100, similar to other models The Reporter and the Pro-Pack. The EE100 Special can use both 100-series and 80-series packfilms, and the fixed non-focusing viewfinder has guides to show the frame size for each. The only feature it has which the standard EE100 does not is a setting to use ISO3000 film at full aperture.
Focusing is carried out by turning the distance-marked front lens element; unlike the original Polaroid 100-400 series folding packfilm cameras, this series features no rangefinder mechanism.

The EE100 also takes generic 'blue dot' flashcubes, with a wind-up hot shoe and diffuser set to one side of the lens.
