Polaroid 800 Land Camera
The Polaroid 800 Land Camera is an instant film camera produced in the United States during the 1950s. It used Polaroid's roll film system and sat in the consumer end of the company's early Land Camera line.
Today the 800 Land Camera is a low-value collectible at UK saleroom level: the most recent hammer price on record is £31 in January 2026. With only one tracked auction result, the price typically sells for a modest sum, and condition, working bellows, and presentation case can shift what an example is worth.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Polaroid 800 Land Camera worth today?
Based on the single tracked UK auction result, an example sold for £31 hammer in early 2026, so current value sits at the low end of vintage instant-camera collecting.
How much does a Polaroid 800 Land Camera sell for at auction?
The recorded UK hammer price is £31, though this reflects wholesale auction level rather than a retail asking price.
Is the Polaroid 800 Land Camera still usable?
The original Polaroid roll film it was designed for is no longer manufactured, so the camera is generally collected for display rather than active use.
