I found this while browsing eBay for old camera gear, and the Polaroid SX-70 still feels futuristic in the strangest way. It folds, opens, and turns into a camera with more ceremony than most modern devices can manage.
The charming part is how sculptural it is. Even when it is not taking photos, an SX-70 looks like it is about to reveal a secret compartment or ask you to document something worth remembering.
Why it caught my eye: instant photography makes patience and surprise share the same little square.
Best for: camera collectors, instant film fans, display shelves, and anyone who enjoys gadgets with good posture.
