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.
