Polaroid 600SE: The Best Instant Film Camera of All Time aka The GOOSE

[@jas_bataille]

So... Pros : - Looks like a weapon from World War II. - FINALLY a camera where you can control everything manually without moving your grip hand. - You can use the viewfinder to concentrate sunlight and start a fire. - You CANNOT take a selfie. Cons : - Cost 10 bucks a shot. - All your photographers friends will want to try it. - You will need a gym membership to use it. Final decision : someone sell this bad boy for 600 bucks with two lenses in my area, I'm already driving there

Just got a lofi back for mine it’s mint! I got two for a deal and was going to return because the second is in bad shape. I effed it worse so I’m stuck so I embraced and now I have a lofi wide back. Honestly best happy accident that I kept it

Love this video. I have had this camera for a long time. However, film, as you know, has become so $$$ and rare. I don't know about mods that I can possibly do, but my daughter is really into film cameras now and I'd love to give her an opportunity to use this great camera with 120 film or anything else. Can you guide me in being able to mod this to keep this beast going?

[@SnowmansApartment]

yup, definitely something i want to own one day =) i‘s probably just print an adapter for i type film or cheap instax

[@franks8462]

interestingly enough, there is already a back you can use for the integral 600 film. Maybe you could get one of those backs and find a way to add a dedicated battery so you could shoot i-type.

Excellent video Do you recommend a trustworthy place to buy one?

[@Eric_Rossi]

eBay is where I got mine. KEH is another place to look, these are pretty easy to spot if youre getting a good deal or not

u should try the one instant packfilm from supersense austria. its basically a upcoming replacement for the fp-100 and current produced.

[@Eric_Rossi]

thanks for the heads up, I def need to look into that!

[@abeljonvanessen725]

Could u use polaroid 600 film?

Hello. Can this insta camera using medium format neg film? If it can, do you need any adapter or how that works?

[@Eric_Rossi]

Not sure of that specifically but there are several adapters that you can get modded for this camera. Some are easy, some you may need some more help.

[@laika25]

Are those still being made?

[@chelcie3]

No

[@alexcerdenanyc]

Does someone have a Polaroid 600SE film back?

Eric, could you make a video about bridge cameras, and show what they can do in comparison to smart phone cameras?

[@Eric_Rossi]

no point to really make a video of actual camera vs phones, they really arent close at all honestly. phone cameras are fine but if you want quality, get an actual camera imo

[@Jacob_._Roberts]

@@Eric_Rossi Thank you Eric❗ What about bridge cameras? Do they compare to mirrorless cameras? I was thinking of cameras for family vacation videos or videos of children in a school play. Not professional work. Would you be interested in doing that type of video? There are a lot more people taking vacation pictures than professional videographers.

[@Eric_Rossi]

@@Jacob_._Roberts im actually going to shoot a video tomorrow on bridge camera, thanks to your suggestion! Hopefully itll add some clarity. I appreciate the suggestion

@@Eric_Rossi Thank you Eric!
