What's the difference between the Polaroid OneStep+ and other Polaroid Originals cameras?
Best answer: The Polaroid OneStep+ functions much like the company's other instant cameras but has the added bonuses of Bluetooth and app control. But because they lack more modern touches, the other Polaroid instant cameras, like the Polaroid 600, offer a more nostalgic photographic experience.Buy the OneStep+: Polaroid OneStep+ ($140 at Amazon)One generation back: Polaroid OneStep 2 ($100 at Amazon)Get started with the 600: Polaroid 600 (From $130 at Amazon)A classic reborn: Polaroid SX-70 ($390 at Amazon)
The Polaroid OneStep+ is a classic instant camera with a couple of contemporary features
For the most part, the OneStep+ behaves like a classic Polaroid instant camera. While it might not fold up like the SX-70, it does take after the OneStep line, once known as the Land Camera 1000. Like the OneStep 2, the OneStep+ uses both i-Type and 600 Polaroid film.
But where the SX-70 and the OneStep 2 are either faithful recreations or continuations, respectively, of older Polaroid cameras, the OneStep+ is an evolution. While retaining the older Polaroid style, the OneStep+ includes Bluetooth functionality. Pressing the + button on the camera activates this and allows you to connect to the Polaroid Originals app on your phone. The app, in turn, lets you control your OneStep+ in different ways, from remotely triggering the camera to being able to set a self-timer.
The Polaroid 600, OneStep 2, and SX-70, all offered by Polaroid Originals, are simply updates to or recreations of various iterations of the classic Polaroid instant camera. They use either 600, i-Type, or SX-70 film. The OneStep+ is the only one with that Bluetooth connectivity and app control.
One more thing: portrait mode
The OneStep+, unlike the OneStep 2, features a secondary internal lens specifically for portraits. A switch on the top of the camera switches between standard and portrait photos. Switching to the portrait lens allows you to get closer to your subjects than the standard lens does, allowing for clearer, more detailed portraits.
A classic Polaroid instant camera with a modern touch
An updated version of the Polaroid OneStep 2, the OneStep+ features Bluetooth connectivity, which allows you to control it through the Polaroid originals app on your phone, letting you set a remote trigger, create double exposures, set a timer, and more.
An update to a classic
The successor to Polaroid's original OneStep camera from the 1970s works much like that classic camera did, using 600 (and now i-Type) film to create the iconic photographs that Polaroid made famous. It actually doesn't add a lot to the original instant camera experience, though this camera comes with a lithium-ion battery that's recharged through Micro-USB.
An old favorite instant camera, carefully refurbished
Polaroid Originals has taken the time to refurbish a number of instant cameras that utilize Polaroid 600 film, including this One Step Flash camera. Authentically 80s, this camera works as well now as it did then.
A foldable instant SLR camera
Just as it did with the Polaroid 600 cameras, Polaroid Originals has restored cameras from the SX-70 to good as new. Folding up for easy portability, the SX-70 was the first SLR instant camera, but it requires a separate flash for lower-light situations.
