Alongside the 'prosumer' range of folding SLRs, Polaroid released a large number of plastic bodied, non-folding consumer cameras that used the SX-70 integral film. There were several lines that varied in the type and amount of features they offered, but fall into three distinct categories differentiated by the method of focusing:

  • Fixed focus - Generally known (in the US) as OneStep models
  • Zone-focused - Generally known (in the US) as Pronto! models; e.g. Pronto RF
  • Sonar Autofocus - Labelled as both Pronto! and OneStep models, but usually with an AF or Sonar moniker

All these models use the SX-70 integral film, meaning the camera is powered by a battery built into the film pack. Many of these models were able to use certain accessories designed for the folding SLR line of SX-70 cameras, such as flashbars, electronic flashes and tripod mounts.


The Supercolor 1000 Deluxe is a foreign markets version of the Onestep line, meaning it has a fixed focus plastic lens.

Features common to the series of OneStep non-folding, fixed-focus SX70-series integral film cameras are:

  • 1 element plastic lens with fixed aperture (103mm, f14.6)
  • 4ft minimum focus distance.
  • Exposure compensation dial around electric eye.
