Hi readers,
Although i do not know if there is any and whether do you all find this interesting and informative becasue there is no feedbacks, comments etc? haha. never mind. i enjoy it. Though it will be good if there is some interaction to keep me going i guess? haha.
And i'm a Polaroid collector myself, so Polaroid collectors or someone who needs some suggestions or recommendations from me.. come talk to me!! Or is looking for a particular model, also come talk to me!! I have some secondhand Polaroid cameras and the films on sale on my webby
The later Sonar OneStep and SLR 680/690 models were equipped with a sonar autofocus system, which permitted returning to the plain focusing screen. The Sonar Onestep models were the first autofocus SLRs available to consumers.
The later SLR 680/690 models updated the basic design of the Sonar Onestep to more modern standards by incorporating support for newer 600 cartridges instead of SX-70 cartridges, and a built-in flash instead of the disposable Flashbar. Today they are the most evolved forms of the SX-70, and are highly sought after by Polaroid enthusiasts.
Though expensive, the SX-70 was popular in the 1970s and retains a cult following today.

There are several models in this category too:
Actually these are better models than the normal SX70 because of the Sonar system but most people prefer the SX70(without the Sonar) maybe because of aesthetic reasons? Personally, i too think that the normal SX70 looks better and more sleek. haha!
SLR680/690 models uses PX600 films and they are the best 600 cameras! If i were to choose one among this category, definitely SLR690 (the last camera shown in this post) .oh nearly forgotten about this. defintiely i would want this! I'm a die hard fan of gold! Haha. but of course they cost quite a bomb too!!
Found this picture. Quite funny. the words in chinese means " EH, which handsome guys ah?"
This is nice too!
