I just bought one earlier from a surplus store for PHP 400.00 ($7.19). The average Polaroid 600 film here in the Philippines costs PHP 1,160.00 ($20.00) online. I hope to use this camera for future events.
@@bokecameras It works a treat and takes lovely photos. There might be less detail than a modern digital camera, but this one hides the blemishes 👍😅 Makes us look more beauiful 🥳
@@crystallw. Not to worry. As mentioned in the video, there are many variations of the Polaroid 600. Quite a number are essentially the same, with different names for different regions, or promotions. Others have specific features ('CL' being the 'Close-up Lens').
Hey, I have a question. I bought a camera today, but its name is SL, not CL. What does SL stand for? I searched online but couldn't find any information about it. I really want to know more about this camera… agh forgot to mention it’s an 635SL
That's a really good question. I have seen this designation on 630's as well ("Lightmixer"), which either have or do not have "SL" as well. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't make any difference. What does, however, is if it says "CL", in which case it will have the Close-Up lens. To clarify, I don't think the SL denotes anything specific, other than perhaps a unique product code. I could be wrong, of course, and you're welcome to find evidence if that is the case!

this video was very soothing to watch
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you found it informative.
Got a handful of old Cameras from my grandma. The Spirit 600 is one I use occasionnally. Film is like 2€ per photo but I am fine with it.
It's a lovely, simple to use camera. You're right that it isn't cheap, but I will say that at the very least it's available.
Thank you
Beautiful video and beautiful voice !
Thank you I just bought one of these for my mum. This video shows us how to use it. Much appreciated 🙏
A pleasure! These are fun, easy to use cameras, and I hope you both have many years of use from it.

Any advice if I have one that powers on and looks to be in order but does nothing when the picture button is pressed?
How do you close the lid without taking a photo?
You’re going to act like we didn’t know you used the Kerbal Space music
Well, it is there in the description ;)
There is a battery in those kinds fo camera???
The battery is within the film cartridge itself, that's what powers the camera.
I found one of these babies at goodwill today for $6.99😩🙏🏾
Nice! That's an excellent price for a 600.
