I need your help for a bit, guys.
My GF's been wanting a polaroid ( = instant) camera for quite a while now. Next month's her birthday and I was planning on buying her one.
There's truckloads of authentic polaroid camera's to be found on this Dutch eBay equivalent website and they're not even that expensive. Thing is, I have no idea what I'm looking for. Could anyone help me out a bit on certain specs I should pay attention to?
I don't exactly know what my GF's looking for in such a camera, all I know is that she really wants one. She does enjoy making macro's with her digicam though.
You want to buy her an old SX-70. It's by far the best Polaroid camera our there and it's an SLR. There are tons of them out there for sale, but you might have to pay a little for one in decent shape, but it's totally worth it. Also, film is being made again, so you don't have to worry about it running out.
