Review on Improved SX-70 Flashbar by Polaroid Originals by Lauren Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

definitely worth the investment for a new sx70 owner

fair warning, to say i'm an amateur would be a compliment. I love the sx 70 for its history, its design and the sonar model can take beautiful pictures with someone as inept as me. Still, I'm fascinated by this little guy. handy that it can shoot 600 or sx70 film indoors and I've really had no problems with this unit on my sonar. I agree on a few things: Load times are indeed a bit slow. Maybe liposuction isn't a bad idea, or maybe a reshape would add an extra cell. although I'm curious if the lithium charges would have any effect. Also, the flash feels shaky, at least on my sonar model. idk if i just got a super used camera or if the circuit board is thin. Still, it works every time, maybe just a gripe, but since we have magenta and castle filters, cyan would be fine too. I especially like the fact that the filters are magnetic and can be stacked on top of each other to create cool effects. pays for itself in 3-4 packs.

Pros
  • camera and photo
Cons
  • embarrassing
