About the Product

The Polaroid SX-70 is for the ultimate analog enthusiast. The first instant SLR (single lens reflex) camera ever made and the first to use the Polaroid instant film we know today. Its manual controls and low film speed make it a go-to for artists and dreamers alike.

The 600 series is a landmark chapter in Polaroid history – the moment instant photography became as easy as pushing a button. From boxy, '80s models to fluid, '90s versions, each camera tells a story about late-20th century design, while a number of weird and wonderful special editions cemented the 600 as a pop culture icon.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Polaroid SX-70 Instant Camera

Bulky in size but quiet lightweight.
Folds up quite compactly.
I like that it does not take up much space when folded.
Excellent size and weight.
Doesn't weigh too much which is nice.

Polaroid 600 Instant Camera

It's a great size and it's very fast to learn to use, and the pictures are the sort of thing I'll hang in my home.
The size can get to you after walking with it for a while, but too me I like the old school feel.
I have small hands, but the camera still didn't feel too bulky while taking pictures.
Like getting pics instantly and very lightweight. Bought as gift and she loves it.
The camera is lightweight and easy to take along for fun! And the film is easy to load and use.

This camera takes the worst pictures ever.

Polaroid 600 Instant Camera

The picture size is good — classic Polaroid. Better than the Fuji instant I reviewed recently.
I’ve taken so many photos with it already. The pictures are so clear.
Works amazing, takes wonderful vintage style polaroid photos! Just follow the camera instructions and adjust your aperture according to your environment.
The photos from this camera gives off nostalgic vibes, and we love that! It's exactly like when I was a kid.
The flash is usually good enough to light up your subject provided you aren't too far away. Overall it's a great little photography toy to have around.
