The Polaroid 1500 is an instant camera for the SX-70 format. It offers the same functions as the Polaroid Pronto! However, the design is black and brown. The round shutter button is green.
The instant camera was produced by Polaroid for the international market.
The Polaroid 1500 is designed for SX-70 films. Polaroid no longer makes these, but The Impossible Project / Polaroid Originals does.
All SX-70 films from Polaroid Originals can also be used in the Polaroid 1500. For example, you can put the Polaroid Color Film for SX-70* for color pictures or the Polaroid B&W Film for SX-70* for monochrome photos into your camera.
