What kind of film does a Polaroid camera use?

Asked 2 years ago
Polaroid cameras primarily use instant film that is specifically designed for their systems. The most common type of instant film used with classic Polaroid cameras is known as the Polaroid 600 film, which is ideal for many of the vintage models produced by the company. For newer models, such as the Polaroid Now or Polaroid OneStep+, the compatible film is called i-Type film. Additionally, Polaroid produces an alternative film called SX-70 film, which is meant for the older SX-70 series cameras. Each type of film features unique characteristics, including color reproduction and print quality. Instant film develops on its own after being ejected from the camera, producing photos typically within minutes. The current options may vary, so it is a good idea to visit the Polaroid website for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding film availability and compatibility with specific camera models.
