The Olympus was discarded because it didn't even have manual, some other one (Canon? it's been a couple of years) was too hard to run in non-auto mode. I admit, that frequently I go into INSTAMATIC mode on my SLR because I am really taking snapshots. But, I'll never get used to using the +/- exposures compensation on program mode (perhaps they should use lighten/darken like Poloroid does) or taking a reading with the center weighted meter and then shifting the frame by using manual mode. -Ron I own a poloroid 600 too.
