Polaroid · USA

The Colorpack 82 is a basic, fixed-focus, fixed-lens instant camera produced by Polaroid during the 1960s or 1970s as part of its entry-level "Colorpack" series. Designed for simplicity and affordability, it utilized Polaroid's standard peel-apart integral film packs (likely 83-series or similar), enabling users to obtain a finished color print within minutes after exposure. The camera body, typically constructed from molded plastic, features a minimalistic design with a simple viewfinder and basic controls, lacking the sophistication or features found in higher-end Polaroid models like the Swinger or the revolutionary SX-70. Its primary purpose was to offer instant gratification in a point-and-shoot package at a low price point, making instant photography accessible to a broad, casual consumer market.
