The Polaroid 600 Spice Cam Instant Film Camera is an instant camera made by the Polaroid Corporation in association with British girl group the Spice Girls , as part of Polaroid's 600 series . [3] [4]

History [ edit ]

In 1997, Polaroid signed a deal with the Spice Girls to develop the Spice Cam, a variation on the company's OneStep instant camera with brighter colours (purple, pink, orange, and silver [5] ) and a new design. [1] [6] The association with the pop group was Polaroid's attempt to appeal to a younger demographic, [1] [6] and the camera came with customizable Spice Girls stickers and labels. [5] [7] The Spice Cam was sold in record stores in addition to traditional camera outlets. [1] [6] Polaroid used the Spice Cam to promote its new 'Extreme 600' film format. [8]

The Spice Cam was Polaroid's first camera to be named after a group or person. [9] The Spice Girls filmed television adverts and conducted a number of promotional photoshoots for the camera. [10] [11] The camera was also exhibited at the 1998 Photo Marketing Association Show. [5]

The Spice Cam was sold in the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. [2] Cox News Service said of the camera, "like the fun-loving quintet, SpiceCam has more style than substance." [7]
