The Polaroid SX-70 is considered a classic among instant cameras. Mint Camera SLR670-S Instant Film Camera Brownhas brought the SX-70's classic design into the modern era with more manual control over the camera, by creating the brown SLR670-S Instant Film Camera. The most recognizable part of the camera is the folding design, which makes it compact when collapsed, and easy to open by pulling up on the viewfinder.

The Time Machine is an external module that connects to the SLR670-S and gives full control of the camera's shutter speeds. There are also two different auto modes, A100 (SX70 film) and A600 (600 film), which are in tune with the ISO's speeds. Unplug the Time Machine and the camera will automatically go into A100 mode.

The electronics have been fully revamped and the electronic eye has been updated over that of the original SX-70 to give a proper exposure. If you find your image a little over- or under-exposed, adjust the brightness control wheel to control the exposure for another picture in the same location and lighting.

Focusing is made easy by the SLR viewfinder and the split image circle; rolling the focusing wheel to the left or the right slowly focuses what you see in the image circle. Each pack of instant film contains a built-in single-use battery to power the camera.

NOTE: When using Polaroid i-Type film with the SLR670-S (Type-i) camera, the camera utilizes its built-in battery; while using SX-70 or 600 films, it will use the battery from the cartridges.

Q: 3. Are there similar issues with refurbished model similar to the SX70? Such as the whirring noise with the motor? Is there a warranty?

A: I contacted MiNT Camera concerning your inquiry. MiNT states that the SLR670-S was launched in May 2016. They state it combines the best of the 670α and 670m, which can use both SX-70 and 600 type film. Taking the body of the SX-70, they’ve upgraded the internal components with modern electronics in order to expand the capabilities of their instant film cameras. The SLR670-S is basically an upgraded version of SX-70, with better technology and is more reliable. In response to the whirring noise, they state that SX-70 and SLR670 cameras may seem to have loud motor sound for first-time users. Other cameras usually do not have these since they do not have the film eject function. But when you encounter more SX-70s, you will find the motor sound normal. It does not affect the camera's functions. The Mint Camera SLR670-S Instant Film Camera purchased new comes with a Limited 3-Year Warranty from the manufacturer.

Q: 8. What is the difference between the SLR670-S and the SLR670-X?

A: The Mint Camera SLR670-X Ming Edition Instant Film Camera (Silver) (B&H# MISLR670XSL) features a built-in module which the manufacturer calls a “Time Machine.” That feature enables manual shutter speed setting and two automatic settings, one for ISO 640 speed film (called 600 film) and one for ISO 160 speed film (called SX-70). That’s especially helpful as it will allow you to adjust for different lighting conditions, too. The version of the Time Machine included as part of the SLR670-X even includes a 2.5mm flash sync port for connecting the camera to an external flash. In contrast, with the Mint Camera SLR670-S Instant Film Camera (Black) (B&H# MISLR670S) uses a different and external Time Machine module and it must be removed in order to shoot with ISO 160 speed film (called SX-70).

A: The Mint Camera SLR670-S Classic Instant Film Camera (Black) is compatible with SX-70 and 600 Polaroid film, There is no need to switch anything.
