Cheers, Alex! May the Polaroid film discounts be with you.

So happy to hear that! Thank you for watching 🙏

Indeed, copy variation is a major factor when dealing with older cameras - arguably even a bigger factor than the nominal capabilities of a particular model!

Thanks so much for the kind words, means a lot!

Yes! Now+ is basically the camera Polaroid Now should have been from the start. You can also think of it as a lovechild of the original Now and OneStep+ (especially seeing how they discontinued the OneStep). I think Now+ is a bit overpriced right now but as soon as it gets a discount, I'll definitely give it a go!

Happy to help!

That was my personal verdict too! But only if you happen to find a good copy 😉

It's by far the best part!! 😂 Thank you so much for agreeing to be a part of this!

Something to try!

Thank you for watching! Yeah, they render differently enough to justify choosing one or the other based on that. Hope you are lucky with your copy of 660 and everything works fine!

Cool! Mandalorian edition does look pretty slick, doesn't it? Shove that film pack in the fridge and it'll last quite a while, plenty of time for that special occasion to show up ;)

Thanks so much for the kind words! It was a bit costly but I was too busy having fun to care about that 😉

Fuji Instax cameras are very similar to those old Kodak cameras and are just a lot smaller. From what I understand is the Kodak in the Fujis expose the film differently eliminating the need for the mirror that Polaroid has inside that results are all the Polaroid camera bodies having the same general shape.

Instax really intrigues me! If only there were cameras with some degree of creative control and half-decent lenses that didn't cost a kidney (as Mint models do, awesome and capable as they are)... I also don't particularly like the look of b/w Instax films for some reason.

Agreed! Especially for portraits or simply with the subject placed prominently in the foreground, 660 seemed to be just that little bit more reliable and balanced.

@@10rollsoffilm11 I found a Polaroid cameras of any vintage no two are exactly alike but a lot of people have had exposure issues with the Polaroid now cameras. My grandmother got a Polaroid now for Mother's Day few years ago it always Overexposed the picture letter if I use the flash or don't use the Flash. I own a Polaroid one-step Plus but usually its exposure spot on when just using it as a point-and-shoot camera. The one-step plus is a fixed-focus camera with that can be toggled between a landscape and portrait lens.

I did look at the Impulse but lack of flash control is a non-starter for me.

If you use flash, I think 660 is a safer bet - at least my copy.

I kept the same settings across two cameras for each comparison and yes, the Now is indeed exposing quite a bit brighter on average.

@@10rollsoffilm11 Thank you.

That depends. First of all, the camera won't do ANYTHING without the film pack: the battery is in it, so no film pack means no power. If the camera shows no signs of life with a fresh film pack (and does not 'spit out' the film pack cover/blank frame, you may be out of luck...

Yeah, Instax certainly has the Polaroid beat in terms of consistency and reliability. With Polaroid nowadays, emulsion without any defects at all is almost a statistical outlier...

It can be a little tight and the pack is tricky to grip onto, so I sometimes use pliers to grab the tab attached to it and then pull gently. There isn't much you can damage in the camera (looks like Polaroid employed some quality engineers!) 😉

@@10rollsoffilm11 ok thank u , i realy wand to try this ,

Don't have an sx-70 on hand to test... Is the sx70 film cartridge the same size (and especially thickness) as 600?

I agree older best

In this comparison, I'm inclined to agree. Would I also agree to the truly enormous generalization of 'more old is better than less old'? No way 😂

A local online marketplace! Really surprised it turned out to be such a good copy.

A shame indeed, I was hoping for the new stuff to be at least as good. Although to be fair, the 660 was selling for 95 bucks when it was introduced in 1981, which translates into over 300 usd in today's money when adjusted for inflation - more than double the price of Polaroid Now... Would you be willing to pay that much more for this kind of quality increase? To be honest, I'm not sure what my answer would be 🤔

You are correct! The system in 660 is not much different, although according to some sources it has either 3 or 4 of those points, so at least in theory it should be more accurate.

Yeah, build quality is not amazing. But then again, on $100 MSRP cameras it never really was 🤷‍♂️

Indeed, that seems to be the tendency.

Quick check of Polaroid Europe site shows 600 colour film selling for 19.99 a pack, while the i-Type variant of the same film is 16.99. Doesn't seem like much of a difference but it does accumulate over time 😉

@@10rollsoffilm11 it does if you don’t value your time at all

@@cursedfox4942 Good thing no one is forcing you to do that then 😉 I, on the other hand, can handle wasting approx. 5min of my precious time each time I load a fresh pack.

@@10rollsoffilm11 I’m just saying you don’t value your time so therefore it is cheaper because your time is worth nothing. If you add in the value of your time it’s actually more expensive to use I type
