The Polaroid 1000S is an instant camera. It uses the Polaroid SX-70 film format.
The camera is identical in features to the Polaroid 1000, differing mainly in that the camera is completely black. Like the 1000, it was also sold on the international market outside the US. It was sold in America as the Polaroid OneStep Plus. In Europe, it was also sold by Foto-Quelle under the name “Revue 1001” with a blue shutter release.
When using it, you have to keep the same things in mind as with the Polaroid 1000.
Films are manufactured by The Impossible Project / Polaroid Originals. The current film for the camera is the Polaroid Color Film for SX-70* and the Polaroid B&W Film for SX-70*. In a package there is a film cassette. There are eight unexposed photos in it. Furthermore, there is the battery for the shutter of the camera. With every film change, the battery is also changed automatically.
