Morphology
The meaning is directly recoverable because 'Polaroid' denotes the instant-camera brand and 'camera' is literal, so a learner who knows those constituents will understand this refers to a Polaroid instant camera. 'Land' here is a proper name (the founder's surname) that functions as part of the model name and does not introduce an idiomatic or unpredictable meaning.
Etymology
Polaroid Land camera gets its name from inventor Edwin Land and the Polaroid company. He made a camera that develops the picture inside so you get a paper photo a few seconds after taking it, which is why the name means an 'instant' camera.
