Specialist Note "The Sun 630 is one of the most reliable workhorses of the 600-series. What makes the LMS models special is how they handle the flash; the camera 'thinks' for you to prevent those typical washed-out faces or overly dark backgrounds. It’s a point-and-shoot in the purest sense—just open it up, wait for the green light, and capture a moment that develops right in your hand. It’s an essential piece for any instant photography collection."
