The SX-70 is the folding instant camera that made Polaroid famous: a chrome body with caramel leather panels that collapses flat and pops up into a single-lens reflex camera. You focus manually with a split-circle viewfinder and can shift exposure with a dial, which gives more control than fixed-focus instant cameras. It is a collector's and tinkerer's camera, not a point-and-shoot. It takes SX-70 film only, and the film is slower and pricier than 600 film, so most owners treat it as a camera for deliberate, well-lit shots. Reviewers rate it very highly, praising the build and the images, and warn that working units need care and that the original film speed limits indoor shooting.
