In 1988, Polaroid released its Cool Cam for $69.00, which was essentially the Sun 600 with flashy colors and branded with the “Cool Cam” moniker. It came in several color combinations, including Red & Black, Yellow & Pink, and the pictured Pink & Grey plus more. The Cool Cam also came with a matching carrying case and a sheet of word bubble stickers that could be adhered to your photos to add some COOLNESS but this did not! The Cool Cam features a single-element 116mm f/11 plastic lens, fixed focus 4 ft to infinity, electronic shutter, programmed auto-exposure system and a built-in electronic flash, Polaroid's Light Management System (the darken/lighten exposure correction slider), automatic electronic shutter w speed between 1/4th-1/200th second, and was made in United Kingdom. The weight is 1 lb 5 oz and the dimensions are 3.5”x 4.5”x 6” when folded. Starting 1997 the Cool Cam whet through a design change with more rounded body, and again in 1999 even more rounded. The camera was discontinued in 1999.
