The Revue Direct 700F is an instant camera. It was distributed in the 1970s by Berkey Photo Inc. under the Berkey Keystone Wizard XF 1500 and under the “Revue” trademark by Foto-Quelle in Germany.
It is quite similar to the Keystone Wizard XF 1000. However, the Revue Direct 700F is equipped with a built-in flash. This is powered by four AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*); the battery compartment is located on the top of the camera. A small switch can be used to add it when needed.
The Revue Direct 700F is designed for the SX-70 format. Polaroid has ended production for this instant format. Films for the model are fortunately being manufactured again by The Impossible Project.
All films designed for Polaroid SX-70 cameras can be used in the instant camera. Currently, the Polaroid Color Film for SX-70* and the Polaroid B&W Film for SX-70* are the current films for color and black and white photography. There are eight images in one film cassette. The price for a pack is about 20 euros.
