First Use of PX70 film

I bought some PX70 film in December 2011 and used a Polaroid SX70 (1000) Land Camera to take some pictures. The results were not good, despite varied camera settings and conditions. I have previously posted a comment on here and I was contacted by Andreas Maier, however I seem to be having problems attaching the file with the scanned images to my email. I am starting to think that it could be an issue with the camera as it had not been used for many years, but I'm not sure. So for Andreas, or anyone who may be able to help, here are the pictures. The last pic is one taken with my Kodak digital camera to show you the Polaroid camera I used.

Hi Malcolm,
It looks like you are shooting in low-light conditions without a flash. In such lighting, the camera's electric eye tells the camera to keep the shutter open longer to make a balanced exposure. If, during the exposure, you shake or move the camera, or your subject moves, you will get blurry shots. That seems to be what is happening. Try to shoot with flashbars or an electronic flash when you are photographing indoors.
Best,
Patrick
