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.
