I want to buy a used polaroid camera as a gift and I was almost sure that I'd buy a One-Step classic camera with flash that takes 600 film.I am no familiar at all with these... Is this camera a good idea?? I saw you said an SX-70 wuld be better but these are more expensive if I am not mistaken... Please give me some help! Please help me with your opinion!

The picture's here / http://www.flickr.com/photos/violentlight/4012631610/ That's what I thought too, with the long exposure. Fortunately it only happened with 2 photos. I was trying to avoid daylight, as I don't have the filter yet. Ordered it today, so it better works, because I really like playing with this camera :) The light was very low, yes.

If there is a delay, the shutter is trying to look for more light. Did they come out kinda blurry? The SX70 with 600 film is pretty finicky and needs a lot of light. Even outside can sometimes be too dark if there is not a lot of light. What were the conditions? Glad to be of some help, kids. :) Katarina, to me that just sounds like there wasn’t the right kind of light.
