INTRODUCED IN 1972, THE SX-70 WAS FIRST MODEL OF THAT LINE. IT IS REGARDED BY MANY AS BOTH A TECHNICAL AND AESTHETIC ACHIEVEMENT BY POLAROID'S CHIEF SCIENTIST EDWIN LAND, WHO WANTED THE CAMERA TO FIT INSIDE A SUIT COAT POCKET; PRODUCE SELF-CONTAINED PRINTS; AND DEVELOP THEM IN BROAD DAYLIGHT,WITHOUT HUMAN INTERVENTION.(3) James M. Conner, IDSA of Henry Dreyfuss Associates is credited with the camera's design (1972).
