The Top Reasons to Hire a Waterproof Camera or Video Camcorder
How many times have you bought a camera and realised it’s not quite what you wanted? Often you’re not sure whether to pay the extra for those features the next model up has, do they make that much difference? Renting allows you to try before you buy and get maybe the top two you are considering just for a weekend to give them a test run. Technology moves so fast and whenever you buy something like a camera within a few moths it will be superseded by a new model! Not a smart long-term purchase. High depreciation will mean that sadly your camera will lose nearly half its value in alone in one year.
Underwater cameras in particular tend to be very expensive and don’t get used as much as a conventional one. Renting these makes much more sense and will save you loads in the long run. You probably own a personal camera which includes all the features you require. Indeed you may also own a sophisticated modern mobile phone which has many of the photographic functions you need. So there is little point in purchasing a waterproof camera for just one holiday or special event is there?
Damage to a camera through getting wet ot shock from a drop is a real danger and can be very costly. Specifically with water when on holiday by the beach or pool. Waterproof camera pouches are an OK solution, but there is a real risk if you do not seal the waterproof pouch properly. Many of these pouch manufacturers also recommend sealing around the top of the pouch for extra security which begs the questions whether they are actually worth getting in the first place! Why risk it with your camera when you can rent one?
There is the option of waterproof disposable cameras, but they have conventional film that has to be developed into prints. It has no digital imaging & the film quality is poor. Often they are costly to develop and usually due to the poor quality of the shots you find yourself with 2 or 3 good shots from a film of 24!
A great range of cameras, waterproof from 3-50 metres are available for you to take your pick from instead of forking out large amounts of money for a camera. They have a huge range of features and are always great quality for your holiday snaps. You will also find a number of underwater video cameras available for hire to capture your snorkelling on holiday in high definition video.
You can now also rent a few sports cameras that are great for activities like mountain biking or sky diving. There are also a range of special purpose brackets & attachments such as the Helmet Cams which allow you to relive those adrenaline moments in true style. Also available are normal DSLR cameras to rent for special events from top manufacturers like Nikon.
Hiring a camera online is simple and often you will find delivery can be made next day for you. Check the memory that comes with any camera you hire as some only have small cards and you may want to buy an additional one with it. You can file your photos at your leisure after your vacation using the SDHC card & your computer and you might also want to think about getting an USB card reader so you can download your photos from the camera while on holiday. This means you don’t need to buy a huge memory card.
Capture those amazing moment in true quality – holidays and special moments to treasure forever with a high quality rented camera.
