I think you will find the memory cards are a bit on the large side for this one. Look at the size of the 3 memory card slots. I doubt its water and dust proof either.

How on earth do you use it hand-held?

I have just realised, it's a large format Polaroid unit.
I think you will find the images are a bit shaky hand held, best if you use a tripod or better still a scaffolding tower, and stilts if you want to see the LCD, its not a flip angle type.

Careful though, I hear they suffer from barrel distortion.

That's an excellent choice PE. I would recommend that you also budget for a good sturdy tripod as it is quite heavy. This one is quite good, I think its a French make:

Depends on how much you fire them, really. I think they're prone to overheating from intensive use and becoming slightly explodey?

Before the Pentax Expert points it out I thought you ought to know that is a French made Wide Base Monopod not a tripod.

Is it 3/8 or 1/4 inch?
Or perhaps even mm?

It might be tricky getting the adapter.
Lurking is shirking.!
