Best place / website to hire a camera body

[ajmphotography]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could suggest the best place/website to hire a Canon camera body for the weekend?

I'm taking some shots for my mates wedding and fancied hiring a 2nd body so i am not chopping and changing lens on my camera so much.

Some of the websites seem to want £1000 deposit for a camera body when i can easily hire a lens for the same value with no deposit!

Anyones help and suggestions would be really handy.

I take it you want a Canon 7D so I just checked and it costs £90 a day and £360 a week.

A Canon 7D isn't the best for weddings though as its mainly for sports and wildlife.

Anyone know of any cheaper companies?

Hi,

I know but it is what i am used to so don't really want to be learning new bits on a different camera when i will possibly only have the hired body the day before the wedding.

These seem really reasonable don't they.

Especially as no deposit required if you pay the insurance.

I take it you had no problems etc?
