Sun 600 vs. Job Pro: Which Polaroid 600 Camera Should You Buy?
Same film. Same price. Two very different personalities.
Polaroid 600 cameras don't come much simpler than these two. For the same price you can take home either a Sun 600 or a Job Pro, both professionally restored A-grade units currently in stock at Brooklyn Film Camera.
The Sun 600 is the classic. Boxy, straightforward, and instantly recognizable as the Polaroid most people remember. It's light, easy to carry, and built for casual, everyday shooting.
The Job Pro is cut from different cloth. Designed as a workhorse for quick documentation, it has a tougher build and a distinct utilitarian look, complete with the bright safety-yellow accents that make it stand out.
Both cameras use the same Polaroid 600 film. Both have automatic exposure, fixed focus, and a built-in flash. The prints they produce are identical. The difference lies in how each camera feels and the kind of shooting it encourages.
We have only four Sun 600s left. The Job Pro has fourteen. Both come with our six-month warranty. So the real decision comes down to which personality fits you better.
The classic. Clean lines, square body, and the bright plastic housing that defined the early 80s.
The Sun 600 is the Polaroid everyone pictures when they think of the 600 series. Clean lines, square body, and the classic bright plastic housing that defined the early 80s. It weighs next to nothing. You pick it up and it feels like it belongs in your hand.
The controls are minimal: big red shutter button, a simple lighten/darken slider on the front, and that's it. No dials to fiddle with, no settings to forget. Point, frame, shoot. The camera handles exposure automatically and fires the flash on every frame. Focus is fixed from about three feet to infinity, so you never have to think about it.
The Sun 600 disappears in use. It stays out of the way and lets you take pictures instead of managing a camera. That makes it perfect for parties, road trips, family snaps, or any moment when you want the instant print without the hassle. Grab it, use it, and move on. It just works.

Best for: Parties, road trips, family snaps, and any moment when you want the instant print without the hassle.
The workhorse. Tougher build, bright yellow safety accents, and a no-nonsense attitude built for real use.
The 600 Job Pro is built like it means business. Where the Sun 600 is light and unassuming, the Job Pro feels like a proper tool. It was originally designed for quick documentation and rougher use, and you can tell. The body is tougher, with those signature bright yellow safety accents that give it a distinct industrial look. It sits heavier in your hands. More substantial. The kind of camera you can toss in a bag or take out in less gentle conditions without worrying.
Controls are still dead simple — same big shutter button, same lighten/darken slider. Automatic exposure, fixed focus, built-in flash on every shot. The Job Pro doesn't try to be cute. It's straightforward, dependable, and ready for work. Perfect when you want a Polaroid that feels like it can handle real life instead of just Sunday afternoons.

Best for: Rougher conditions, job sites, and anyone who wants a Polaroid that feels like it can handle real life instead of just Sunday afternoons.
The two cameras feel different as soon as you pick them up.
Sun 600
The Classic
Light and familiar. The classic boxy shape and colors most people associate with Polaroid. Easy to carry. Easy to forget you're holding until you want to take a picture.
Job Pro
The Workhorse
Built like the work camera it was meant to be. The bright yellow and black body stands out, and the whole thing feels more solid in your hands. Designed for job sites and quick documentation.
Operationally they are the same. Both have automatic exposure, a fixed focus lens, and a flash that fires on every shot. Put the same 600 film in either one and you'll get the same results.
The difference is in the personality. One feels made for casual snapshots and everyday fun. The other feels like a dependable tool that can handle a little more abuse.
Price, Stock, and Condition
Both the Sun 600 and the Job Pro sell for the same price: $150.
As of now there are eight Sun 600s left and fourteen Job Pros remaining at Brooklyn Film Camera.
They come as A-grade restored cameras. That means they've been fully serviced, cleaned inside and out, tested, and brought up to solid working condition. Each one is backed by a six-month warranty.
This is why many people choose to buy from Brooklyn Film Camera instead of taking chances on raw vintage finds.
The Right Choice for You
So here's the simple truth.
If the camera you picture in your head is the bright, boxy Polaroid from every 80s snapshot, get the Sun 600. It's the one that feels right in your hand for a backyard party, a quick road trip, or any time you just want to hand the camera to someone and say "here, take a picture." Light, familiar, and it never gets in the way.
If you like the idea of a Polaroid that looks like it could survive a job site, take the Job Pro. The yellow-and-black body, the extra weight, the no-nonsense attitude — it's the one you reach for when the shooting might get a little rougher or when you want the camera itself to feel like part of the story. It's still dead simple to use, but it carries itself like it's been there before.
Everything else is identical. Same film, same flash, same prints. The only real difference is which one you'll actually enjoy pulling out of your bag. Pick the one whose personality matches yours. Both are sitting on the shelf at Brooklyn Film Camera right now, and either one will start making pictures the moment you load it.
Final Thoughts
You can't go wrong with either one.
The Sun 600 is the classic. Light, straightforward, and instantly recognizable. The Job Pro is the workhorse. Tougher, more substantial, and built with a different purpose in mind.
Both are properly restored, both carry the same six-month warranty, and both will give you the same Polaroid 600 experience. The choice is really about which camera you connect with more.
Right now Brooklyn Film Camera has a limited supply of both. If you see one you like, now is the time to grab it. Load it up and get shooting.
Both cameras. Same price. Same warranty. Your call.
