No, the first Polaroid -- the 1948 Polaroid 95 Land camera -- took sepia-tone pictures. Polaroid produced the first instant black-and-white instant film in 1950, and the first instant color film ("Panchromatic") in 1955.

When did the Polaroid camera stop being made?
If conception is invention, then according to the Polaroid website, the Polaroid Land Camera was invented in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1944. Edwin Land was on vacation when his three year old daughter Jennifer asked him why she couldn't see a picture Land took of her right away. Land went for a solitary walk and by the time he returned he had all the central concepts for what became the Land Camera in his head. The folding camera Edwin Land invented produced black-and-white prints in about one minute from roll film inside the camera. Land patented his camera in 1946 (Patent Number 2435720).It's a little difficult to determine precisely where the first Polaroids, or Land Cameras, were made. The original camera, the Model 95, first sold in 1948 for $89.75 in Boston, Massachusetts. According to the website The Land List (see Related Link below), it is possible (Land List makes no assertion of accuracy) that the earliest Model 95s were produced under contract for Polaroid by Samson United of Rochester, New York with a lens by Wollensak. There is a suggestion from a visitor to the site that some early Model 95's may have also been produced in a Timex plant in Atlanta, Georgia. Later, Polaroid took over production themselves, and Polaroid at the time was headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
How does the original Polaroid camera differ from the 35mm camera?
I assume you mean 35mm "rangefinder" (not SLR). All of this is from memory, so reader beware. Here's a site that shows the Model 95 (the first production model) and that gives some specs: http://www.eastman.org/fm/timeline-cameras/htmlsrc/mP762100002_ful.html Polaroid film size was much larger than 35mm. Polaroid film came in a film-pack as opposed to the canister for 35mm. Polaroid did not produce a negative--no negative-to-positive transfer. Range of emulsions was available for 3mm. Number of frames available per roll greater for 35mm. Ability to load 35mm film in canisters with varying number of shots. Polaroid processing was on-the-spot. Polaroid film came in only BW (more accurately, Sepia). Not every early Polaroid had rangefinder assist. Slow lens on Polaroid (probably 6.3 max, but with Waterhouse system). Polaroid was bulky. No self-timer on Polaroid. Some 35mm lenses -- Contax and Leica, for example -- were peerless. Some 35 mm cameras had interchangeable lenses. Polaroid did not. Some 35mm cameras were cheaper than the $89 Polaroid (the famous Argus C3, for example, was $39). Film advance on 35mm might cock the shutter. Not so on Polaroid. Flash sync may not have been available on first Polaroids. I think that an external accessory may have been available. Sorry. I omitted another major difference: The Polaroid was a "folding camera," with a pull-out/collapsible bellows (which you will see if you visit the Web site I listed.
Who made the first telescope that took pictures?
nobody unless you mean a camera
Who made the first motion picture camera?
KodakAnswer:The first camera that did not need to have film developed, was the Polaroid Swinger. It was b&w and cost $19.95, the photos developed in the camera and became the photos. It was not digital, technically it still used film, but it was an amazing device.
