Cameras/Trying to find film for older polaroid camera

Question
I have just bought an old polaroid sx70 cmaera and was trying to determine what type of film it would use and if the film is still available.

Also have a Polaroid swinger and would like to know the same for it.


Thanks

Answer
Polaroid stopped producing the film for the SX70 early this year.  It used SX70/Timezero film.  There is a site that claims you can convert your camera so it can use 600 film.

The film for the Swinger has not been around for quite some time.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.
