Captiva

1993 – 1997

Polaroid's attempt at a more compact instant camera, the Captiva (sold as the Vision in Europe) used a smaller film format with prints stored inside the camera body rather than ejecting immediately. This novel approach kept the camera pocketable while still delivering instant prints.

Notable Features

  • Prints stored inside camera body during development
  • Smaller film format for a more compact body
  • Sold as Vision in European markets
