Polaroid Spectra 1200FF Instant Photo Camera - Retail (New but Opened Box)

Review
Polaroid is the only firm offering instant-imaging print cameras in the United States today, so you don’t have any brand choice in this particular category. But, Polaroid cameras are available in several different sizes of print formats, from small postage stamp size images, which are popular with young photographers, to this new model that produces 4X4-1/10-inch color prints. The Polaroid Spectra 1200 has a contemporary design with a new two-tone silver and gray finish, weighs 23 percent less than earlier models, and is quite compact when closed so it’s very portable. With depressions on the bottom for thumb positioning, it’s easy to grip tightly. The few controls are well marked and easy to operate. Two-zone manual focusing sets the camera for subjects 2 to4 feet or 4 feet to infinity. An LED light beside the bright viewfinder glows when it’s in close-up mode. The built-in flash range is from 2 to 10 feet, and since the battery is built into the film pack, you load a fresh battery every time you put in a new ten-pack of film. The resulting test prints were colorful and sharply detailed, self-developing in about a minute after they were ejected from the camera.
