The Polaroid Spectra camera was an evolution upon the earlier Polaroid SX-70 and 600 systems. It was launched in 1986 and, while it used the same 600 emulsion, the exposures were now in a larger, rectangular format, as opposed to the earlier square formats. The cameras themselves incorporated a new "Quintic" lens and a number of features now routinely found on previous Polaroid cameras such as sonar auto-focus, self-timers, multiple exposure capability, remote switch compatibility, and a tripod socket.
The Polaroid Onyx camera was a special edition of the Spectra system, released in 1987. It features a dark, translucent body that allows you to see through the top of the camera and get a peek at the internal electronics of the camera. It otherwise functions the same as all other Spectra system cameras.
