History
The Polaroid SX-70, while popular when released, was considered expensive at a cost of $180.[2] Thus, Polaroid created cheaper alternatives: rigid plastic Presto, and the OneStep series. With a release price of $40 (equivalent to $201 in 2023), the Land Camera 1000 became the best-selling camera of the 1977 Christmas shopping season.[3] Later, Polaroid released Type 600 integral series cameras, utilizing the same film format and cartridge but with a different film formulation.
