Anybody know a manual Polaroid?

Does anyone know anything about Polaroid instant cameras? I'm looking for one with which i can actually set manually, instead of P&S... does something like that actually exist? (Aside from polaroid backs, tks...)

Thnx, rueyloon.

Rueyloon, you have any idea where i can pick up polaroid cameras in singapore? doesn't have to be the 600se, but the general spectra line...?

check out cash converts, I've seen them going for like $25 dollars or you can try out Ebay .... but I would say, go for a fuji, polaroids are quite sucky, the colours are so bad.... fuji ones are better.

600se is a backdated model.

polaroid dun sell them anymore.

or you can try getting a sx70, it's a polaroid SLR.

the sx70 is an older model, if I'm not wrong, it uses time zero film, which is cool in it's own right, but you should look for the 680, 680SE or the 690 series of polaroid SLR. You can get them from Ebay I got my 680SE for about 200$ including shipping and box and in very good condition. This camera is very cool as it folds down. But the problem with polaroid is that it's film is crap.... CRAP CRAP CRAP.....

Shouldn't be EXPENSIVE EXPENSIVE EXPENSIVE?

Seriously though, the colours on the Fuji Instax is more vibrant but the washed out look of Polaroid does have its old world charms.
