Polaroid OneStep SX-70

This is the "Polaroid OneStep SX-70" camera, it is a Polaroid Land Camera what was produced by Polaroid from 1977 to 1980; and would have originally retailed for about $29.95 to $49.95 US.

 

Polaroid would produce various cameras under the "OneStep" name from 1977 to 2002. This camera is virtually identical to the "Polaroid Time-Zero OneStep SX-70 Rainbow" which was produced from 1981 to 1982; and was meant as a replacement for the original "OneStep". The only real differences between the two models are that on the regular "OneStep" (shown above) the face plate is white; also the shutter button and the accent around the lens are round. As apposed to the later "Time-Zero OneStep” which instead features a black face plate as well as a square shutter button and lens accent. Both models feature the classic Polaroid "rainbow" stripe on the front of the camera.

 

Cameras like this have become fairly collectible in recent years since Polaroid discontinued the production of their line of instant cameras; and ceased the production of instant film in 2009(although the instant film is still produced by Fujifilm as well as the “Impossible Project”) I recently purchased this camera at a local thrift store for $4.00; it appears to be in excellent condition and it even came with the "Polaroid Q-Light" flash attachment.
