The model implements cutting-edge analogue technologies from the time, which still make it a remarkable camera to use, and to appreciate. There is also the Spectra Pro camera realisation of this model, with a close-up lens, allowing for more control of composition, and autofocus, which utilises sonar technology in order to focus the image. The camera combines both new and classic design elements, while being unmistakably a Polaroid product's extremely simple both technically and in its operation, making it a highly user-friendly model, and an ideal introduction to the Polaroid brand. It is also more compact, and more flat compared to the cube-like bodies of the Polaroid 600 and the Sx-70 box cameras. With this button the flash and lens pop up and the camera is instantly read to use. ![]() One of the camera’s other distinguishing features is that its entire body can be operated immediately with the press of one button. It was rather ironic that while Polaroid’s initial decision to use 3x3 had resulted in its iconic signature image style in the 600 format, they eventually decided to abandon this in favour of a more generic 4:3 style. Once of the key advancements of the camera is its implementation of a wider format picture in a 4:3 ratio. For this reason, Polaroid technology continues to be used in this incarnation to this day. The quality of the images created, importantly, were higher than those available in digital mediums at the time. Ive finally made a 'quick' guide to the Polaroid Spectra This camera is super complex, well at least compared to some other instant cameras. It was favoured as a quick and easy way to photograph and document modelling talent in a format which could, due to its size, capture important physical features and details which would be lost in a smaller format. The Polaroid Spectra System uses a type of Polaroid film that’s slightly wider than the classic 600/SX-70 square frame. What Film Does the Polaroid Spectra System Use Before we get started, we need to make sure you have the film you’ll need for the camera. The camera, nonetheless, had some cultural currency, as it was featured in the film, Anger Management, and was a tool adopted by modelling agencies in the 2000s. I’ll have a separate guide for the simpler cameras like the 1200i out soon. Powered by the battery included with the film packs. The Polaroid brand failed to reinforce its identity as the innovative competitor it had once been, in the face of the burgeoning popularity of new and commercially exciting digital photographic mediums. At 6.82 x 3.07 x 5.46 inches (W x H x D), the Spectra 1200i is compact enough to join you on your travels. This occurred due to a combination of factors, including a lack of innovation and forward thinking that had characterised its earlier innovations in its its newer products, waning buzz, and lapsing popularity. Creating this camera was one of last acts of the Polaroid corporation, and it was the last model implemented before the brand’s unfortunate demise. The camera was a result of Polaroid’s later attempts to cater to customer feedback and suggestions in the face of a shrinking analogue industry. ![]()
