I’m trying to identify a Polaroid 600-series camera. It uses Polaroid 600 film and has a yellow “Live for the Moment” logo on the front and behind the flash bar, plus a Polaroid logo on top of the flash bar. It does not have a tripod socket. What model or variant is this?

It would seem to be a standard Polaroid 600 in a colour that this dude on flickr refers to as Party Blue. Indeed searching for Polaroid 600 Party Blue on Google yields many results showing that camera. According to the Polaroid page on the Camerapedia wiki it belongs to the Polaroid 600 One Step Flash (Close Up) family and it is indeed known under the Polaroid Party denomination:
- Polaroid Party (blue with yellow details; pale and dark green)
For completeness sake, quoting from Camerapedia its specifications are:
Specifications
- Lens: 116mm, f/11, Single-element plastic.
- Fixed focus (sharpest at 4-5 feet), but with sliding close-up attachment.
- Shutter: electronic; automatic speed between 1/4-1/200 sec.
- Integral auto flash that works in low light but cannot be forced on or off.
- Polaroid's Light Management System (the darken/lighten exposure correction slider).

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
This appears to be a Polaroid 600 OneStep Flash / Close Up family camera, commonly referred to as the Polaroid Party version in blue with yellow accents. Some people also simply call it a Polaroid OneStep in a special colorway.
Based on the community answers, it’s essentially a standard Polaroid 600-type camera in a branded/color variant rather than a separate advanced model.
Typical specs for this family include:
- 116mm f/11 single-element plastic lens
- Fixed focus, sharpest around 4–5 feet
- Sliding close-up attachment
- Electronic shutter with automatic speeds roughly 1/4 to 1/200 sec
- Built-in automatic flash
- Uses Polaroid 600 film
So the most useful identification is: Polaroid 600 OneStep Flash / Close Up, “Party Blue” variant.
