About this deal

It’s no coincidence that Polaroid has remained more or less faithful to its iconic design to this day.

Polaroid P600 Instant Camera - Tested with film and Fully

The standard model is the Polaroid OneStep 600, which had a simple fixed focus 1-element plastic lens and lacked the close-up adaptor. Polaroid 690 (Later version of the SLR 680 with some cosmetic changes and a micro-controller instead of analogue circuitry). Standard Impulse cameras have a single element plastic lens with fixed aperture (116mm, f/9) and minimum focus distance of 4 feet. Note: due to the lack of battery, the i-Type films are not suitable for use in a Polaroid 600 Instant Photo camera, but 600 film can be used in modern cameras such as the Polaroid Now without any problems.

The film was branded with several different names over the years, including "Extreme 600" and "Notepad". Polaroid Impulse AF (grey, black, green, purple or blue, 'AutoFocus System' text on film exit; sonar autofocus is below flash.

A "close-up" lens was often included, but this took the form of a simple plastic meniscus that slid into place. Many of the models are functionally identical to others but have different coloured fascia, names and stickers according to marketing territory. If the front of the camera proclaims "Polaroid Onestep 600," for instance, then you can rest assured that it takes 600 film. Make sure that your camera is a Polaroid 600 camera: that it uses Polaroid 600 film, or another film type explicitly designed to be compatible with 600 cameras.

The metal contacts should be facing down, the dark slide should be facing up, and tab should be facing out of the camera slot toward you. These models have a 116mm fixed-focus 1-element plastic lens and an exposure correction slider on the front.

Polaroid P600 600 Instant Camera Built in Flash Fully Tested

Initially in black but followed by multiple naming variants - Amigo, Spirit, President, Quick, Revue etc. Polaroid 600 Autofocus (round top) (light/dark blue) (As above, but with autofocus and no close-up adaptor). The 600 models are suitable both for beginners (especially cheap second-hand cameras) and for retro enthusiasts who are addicted to the 80s design. When most people talk about Polaroid cameras, they mean the popular and relatively cheap models of the 1980s and 1990s that used film packs with integral batteries that were designated the 600 series. Polaroid 600 Aquablue, Polaroid 600 Asian Gold (orangey gold and black), Polaroid 600 Extreme (black with orange trim), Polaroid 600 af (presumably autofocus), Polaroid 637 (dark grey with cyan trim, like 600.

Classic 600 instant film is hardly available today, instead a modern version originally produced by Polaroid Originals is used. It still has a built-in battery, an ISO value of 640 and is available in colour, black and white and various special editions. Use it to cover your pictures for several minutes when they come out of the camera to avoid damaging UV exposure. Several models were limited editions with tie-ins to icons of popular culture, such as Barbie or the Spice Girls, while other versions were promotional items made for corporate entities and are now highly collectible thanks to their rarity. These models were an advance on the initial series in that they included a built-in automatic flash in similar straight-edged bodies.
