The Polaroid Vision/Captiva is a really nice and unique camera. It is such a shame they can’t bring the film back for it, there definitely seems to be a lot of them out there! Hehe.

I just spent $10 on a captiva in an old leather Kodak case 🥲

Thank you Noah, I’ve tried to use Instax film in my not so joyful joy-cam and it worked! Surely I’m not going to use it anymore but knowing I can do it in some way made my day!

I absolutely loved my Joycam. It was so simple to use on nights out. I also loved the symmetrical framing of the image with the white borders. They were an affordable alternative to the emerging instax range in the UK.

Mine is so good. Love it!

Your experimentation like the fuji instax in the 500 is super interesting, hopefully you share more of your film/camera experiments in the future

I just bought like half a month ago a Polaroid impulse and I came to know about it, but I got so invested in this channel such good work

thank you for this, very informative! found my mom's old polaroid captiva in my basement and wondered if it was worth it to keep around

Hey man, just stumbled on your video and LOVED your channel! Best wishes from Brazil, keep the awesome work!

Talk about Polaroid's attempt at 35mm instant slide film, Polachrome!

Aw man,just last week I bought a captiva for five bucks instead of the 660 just like the one you were holding that was priced at like twelve because I thought the captiva was really cool...like my polaroid 101 that takes discontinued pack film. It's practically a collection now.

Noah: "don't buy these." Me: browsing through an internet auction as I watch this video and finds a joycam and goes "Ooo 2 dollars!" and proceeds to bid (and eventually wins).

Great channel and content! Very informative.

This was so helpful, thank you for this! I just got the captiva (thankfully for free) so I'll just recycle it then!

I have the silver joycam in my collection! It was part of a camera lot my aunt & uncle gave me! It's never been removed from its box. It's fun for a display camera. Each year I find it to be a little cuter lol!

I loved them because they were so damn fun! It's very hard to kill a Joycam unless you did something silly with the film pulling device. I took it on nights out and people loved it. 😁

I have a Joy cam from 1999 and it takes crisp shots with the rectangle size. Not sure why they are regarded as bad camera's and they are really handy, light and work well even in night settings!

If Ibwas going to try and use instax film, I'd probably try with my Joycam because the roller system doesn't curve the print around to the back. Plus you don't need power in the battery. It's just for the flash.

I have a Captiva cam but the top right says "badge cam". Any idea? Rebadging?

Hi nice what battery is used? Thanks

Don't forget the Olympus C-211 digital camera which took 500 film!

The Polaroid Captiva was sold in Germany as Polaroid Vision. I bought this camera more than 30 years ago when my doughter was born. Ive sold the camera by ebay a couple of years ago, but the Pictures that ive made with her are still alive.

I'm literally watching this because I'm getting a sx-70 for Christmas and while I was at goodwill the day of writing this comment I found a Joycam at goodwill and bought it because hey its only $3 dollars I can't wait to see the differences

I’m glad I saw this video while searching 95 film for my Polaroid Joycam 😅

i wish they made film for captiva n joycam still

Guess we can ad the spectra to this list in the near future.

You can definitely shoot instax in these, you’ll just have skip the 500 type that you’ve taped the instax to and just fit the instax into the spring loaded cart by itself. That way it won’t feed out of the camera and you can then refit it back into the instax camera for a proper development.

The cartridge is stuck in the Captiva? Any idea how to get it to release it. The door won't open all the way to take it out. The film was old and camera hadn't been used in years. Since the battery is in the inserted cartridge, could the dead battery be keeping it from opening? Want to make it work. Thanks

well, you can do that with any camera with a big enough gate. the point of trying with these would be to have a better camera that would work with the available film and would still develop by itself. if you are developing with any instax, you might as well choose a better, fully manual camera with better lenses to shoot with

I just ordered a Captiva Polaroid camera and Captiva Polaroid film from eBay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Captiva was a very nice quality camera. And WAS very popular. Just because the film is no longer available doesn't mean it was poor quality. The joycam and izone of course were just garbage, but NOT the Captiva.

So literally just minutes ago we found the Polaroid Captiva SLR (500) along with some old film. It had not been used in many years. Put the film cartridge in took a picture and it didn't come out. Took the cartridge out again and then put it back in again, and now it won't take a picture and the cartridge door won't open. Why? Is it because the film is really old and the in-cartridge battery is dead or what? We really want to get it open. Any ideas? Thanks

@AnalogResurgence

It sounds like probably the battery has died and it was trying to eject a piece of film but ran out of power. The film might be jammed inside of the camera. You might be able to force it open

@@AnalogResurgence Thank you! Will try to pry it open but that's a little scary.

So, If people in Hemple Hemstead get Hemorrhoids, do people in Poland get Polaroids? (OK, I stole it from Benny Hill). I have a few polaroids including the first of the SX-70's and a very early (maybe the first?) that also had several copies of the Polaroid magazine with it. Thanks for the video. Interesting.

I just found some expired Captiva film at Goodwill. I am going to go grab the Captiva SLR I saw at the other thrift shop near me. I'll let you know if it still processes okay.

The Polaroid Joycam can't be used anymore! The video details how the camera is obsolete and the film has been discontinued for years. Instax film only works properly in Instax cameras.

The 600 film is a larger size and different shape then the Joycam stuff was! They also took different cartridges for the film as well, the 600 film isn’t compatible at all with how the joycam is setup
