The value of all film cameras has declined now that digital dominates the market and film is hard to find. Most 1970 Polaroid Swing cameras currently sell for $1-5, but may bring $20-35 depending on condition, and whether you have the original box and manual. They're no more nor less collectible than the 1960s models.

∙ 13y agoThe Polaroid Model 80 was also known as the Highlander, and was a popular camera during its era. The original Model 80 was manufactured from 1954-1957; the 80A from 1957-1959 (shutter numbering changed); the 80B from 1959-1961 (new film cutter and film release button). The distinction between models seems to make little difference to collectors at the moment.
The Model 80 used big, round flashbulbs (unavailable) and 30-series roll film, which was completely discontinued in the 1970s. Some hobbyists have successfully converted the camera for use with conventional 120 roll film, but the adaptation is permanent and devalues the camera for collection purposes.
The Highlander is not particularly popular with collectors. The camera alone can be purchased for $1-5; a complete kit with accessories, case and manuals may sell for as much as $35, depending on condition.

What is the value of a Polaroid Highlander Model 80A camera in its original box with manual?
The Polaroid Model 80 was also known as the Highlander, and was a popular camera during its era. The original Model 80 was manufactured from 1954-1957; the 80A from 1957-1959. The only real differences between the 80 and 80A is that the body tint shifted from olive to beige, and the shutter numbering changed. In all other respects, the two cameras were identical, and the minor distinction between models seems to make little difference to collectors. The Model 80A used big, round flashbulbs (unavailable) and 30-series roll film, which was completely discontinued in the 1970s. Some hobbyists have successfully converted the camera for use with conventional 120 roll film, but the adaptation is permanent and devalues the camera for collection purposes. The Highlander is not particularly popular with collectors. The camera alone can be purchased for $1-5; a complete kit with accessories, case and manuals may sell for as much as $35. If the camera is in excellent condition and includes the original box and manual, you may receive a slight premium, but not more than a few dollars because the cameras were manufactured in quantity and are both plentiful and useless.

What type of film can be used in a Polaroid 80 Land camera?
You need Polaroid SX-70 film. There is a group of people doing something called The Impossible Project (google that and you'll get to their website) which is recreating Polaroid instant film. This is apparently harder than you think--the company that made the dye Polaroid used, which is very unique stuff, won't make any more nor will they tell you how to do it, so the Impossible people are creating one of their own.

Pretty low. The Model 900 takes Polaroid roll film (Type 42 or Type 47), a format that was discontinued in the early nineties, so it's not a useful camera anymore. Examples generally go for less than $20. I paid $3 for mine, some years back.
