WHY CAMERARENTER
With a million things on your mind, you may be wondering why you need CameraRenter at your event.
CameraRenter is quickly becoming a must-have for all events for three simple reasons:
Buying a digital camera will not give you what you want: a lot of great pictures from special events, with little effort. Renting digital cameras will. Let's be honest. How often do people use their digital camera? Maybe a few times a year for special occasions?
Strike one against owning.
And have you ever noticed how you never see any of the pictures taken by the few people who use their digital cameras at special events? When's the last time anyone mailed you doubles or actually emailed you that picture you asked for? What good is owning a digital camera if nobody can see the pictures?
Strike two against owning.
Finally, if you've ever owned any type of camera, have you noticed that no matter how hard you try, there are always a lot more pictures you wish you took than pictures you actually took? It's really hard to enjoy a special event from behind a viewfinder, so we're always a second late for that perfect candid picture opportunity.
Strike three.
So why does anyone buy a digital camera in the first place? Well, much like they think that buying a Super Ab Blaster Deluxe will give them great results with little effort, they think that buying a digital camera will give them great results with little effort. Unfortunately, both purchases don't deliver what they want without a lot of effort.
Fortunately, unlike slimming down a waistline, there is a way to get and share a lot of great pictures from special events with little effort: rent digital cameras.
It works because unlike fitness you can have other people do the work while you enjoy the results. And unlike having your family and friends blast their abs for you, your family and friends will enjoy snapping digital pictures at your special event.
By renting digital cameras, the people who will make your event special have fun capturing a lot of great pictures before, during, and after it. Put differently, you get great results with little effort.
But what about sharing all of these pictures? After the event, you still don't need to lift a finger. All of your pictures are delivered to you on a CD and on a Personalized Memory Sharing Website. You can do anything you'd like with the CD, and you, your friends, and your family can view, download, and print all of the pictures from your website for free.
It's pretty simple when you think about it. Buying a digital camera won't give you what you want with little effort, and renting digital cameras will. So skip the former. Try the latter.
This ensures that you, your family, and your friends, miss nothing and remember everything before, during, and after your event. Make sure you take advantage of this by using the cameras as much as you can.
How do the digital cameras that you rent compare to disposable cameras?
When you, your family, and your friends get to your site, there is no need to register and no passwords to remember. You, your family, and your friends just view, download, print, and share as many of the pictures and videos from your event as you'd like for free.

If a camera is not returned, a replacement charge will be assessed to the credit card associated with the event. Replacement charges are $100 per camera. There is a $25 replacement charge if memory cards are not returned. There is a $10 replacement charge for batteries that are not returned.
All replacement charges will be refunded 100% if the equipment is ever returned.
We recommend passing your cameras out before your event so your family and friends can capture even more memories, and so that the cameras have no chance of getting lost.
1. Pictures and videos are pointless if nobody sees them
It is important that you and your guests actually see the pictures and videos taken before, during,
and after your event. For example, think about the last event you were at where the guest used disposable
cameras or their own digital cameras. How many pictures from that event have you seen? How many pictures
from that event have your family or your friends seen? Click here to read more.
2. Professionals can't capture everything
Once-in-a-lifetime memories will be made when your profession photographer or videographer is not around.
How will you capture and share all of these memories? Or what about the behind-the-scenes memories that only
your guests can capture? Click here to read more.
3. Nothing about your event is disposable
You wouldn't give your guests paper plates, so don't give them paper cameras. Also, disposable cameras are
called disposable for a reason. They are disposed of. Nothing about the easy, elegant, and eco-friendly digital
cameras you rent is disposable and your pictures and videos are digital. Click here to read more.
Pictures are Pointless if Nobody Sees Them
Some people ask: If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, did it make a sound?
We ask: If a picture is taken at an event and nobody sees it, is there actually a picture? :)
In all seriousness, think about the last special event you were at. And think about all the pictures that were taken, pictures everyone took with their digital cameras or disposable cameras. Now think about how many of those candid shots you, your family and friends have seen?
The memories from your event are much too important to suffer this fate. You should know that you and your guests will be able relive and share all of the memories from your event. And this should be easy and free.
With your Personalized Memory Sharing Website you will know that you and your guests can view, download, print, and share all of the pictures and videos from your event without leaving the comfort of home for free. No need to register. No passwords to remember. Just you and your guests remembering and sharing everything from all of the digital cameras you rented.

Professionals can't capture everything
Your professional photographer and videographer
will beautifully capture a few hours from your wedding day.
What about everything else?
Your wedding is much too important for anything to be missed, and your wedding celebration will take place over days, not hours. So how can you make sure that none of the once-in-a-lifetime memories from your wedding week are missed? One professional certainly can't do this, and neither can disposable cameras.
Imagine having the people who will be making all those once-in-a-lifetime memories capture them. Imagine having your family and your friends capture candid shots before, during, and after your wedding; from the rehearsal dinner, to the get-together the day after, and all of the memories in-between. After all, who better to capture the candid memories before, during, and after your wedding then the people who make them?

An easy, elegant, and Eco-Friendly alternative to disposable cameras
Nothing about your wedding is disposable. Not the plates, not the silverware, and
definitely not the cameras.
When you give out disposable cameras, you get disposable pictures. You get what you give. It's that simple. Because disposable cameras are disposable, guests treat them like they are disposable. So they sit unused or are used to take three or four disposable pictures of the floor.
And then what do you do with the three or four pictures that are taken? Are you going to take a pillow case full of mostly unused disposable camera to the neighborhood drug store, get triplicates prints made (because you know Aunt Sally will want copies), address and stamp envelopes, mail them out, and then pay the thousand dollar credit card bill for the few prints that actually turn out? And let's not forget about the fact that all these disposable cameras (and the batteries in them) are disposed of along with all the prints that did not turn-out. What a waste of time and resources!
Chances are you don't have the time for all of this. But what about the memories?!
What if you could give your family, and your friends easy, elegant, eco-friendly Polaroid 5.3 megapixel digital cameras with large 2.5" screens? You'd get a lot of great pictures and videos. The key here is "a lot," "great," and "videos." Each of the digital cameras you rent takes over 450 pictures, has a large 2.5" previewing screen, and records video and audio. Each of these things is impossible with disposable cameras.
And what if after your wedding week, you, your family, and your friends could view, download, print, and share all of the pictures and videos for free without leaving the comfort of home. And what if none of your family or friends had to hassle with registering or remembering passwords? Well, you, your family, and your friends would be eco-friendly and miss nothing and remember everything from your wedding easily and elegantly.

WHY RENT DIGITAL CAMERAS INSTEAD OF BUYING DISPOSABLE CAMERAS?
Short Answer: Disposable cameras take disposable pictures, and nothing about your event is disposable. Also, you
wouldn't give your guests disposable silverware, so don't give them disposable cameras.
Longer Answer: We've all seen disposable cameras set-out on the tables at events. The idea: capture fun,
candid memories from the eyes of the people who make your special day so special. The idea is great.
Who better to capture all of the fun, candid memories from your reception than the people who will make it special?
What better way to make sure you remember everything from the best day of your life than to have family and
friends serve as a fleet of photographers and videographers? The issue is not with the idea; it's with the
disposable cameras.
CameraRenter has taken the idea behind disposables and married it with digital cameras and online picture
and video sharing so that you actually can remember and share everything before, during, and after your event.
But before we get into all that, let's talk a bit about disposable cameras.
Disposable Cameras: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
The Good
The good of disposable cameras is the idea. Give cameras to your friends and
your family and get back hundreds of fun,
candid memories that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Brilliant!
At least theoretically.
At least theoretically.
The Bad
The cameras. They are disposable. They take disposable pictures. But nothing about your event is disposable!
Not the plates, not the forks, and definitely not the cameras. But because the cameras are disposable, guests
treat them like they are disposable and you get pictures that are disposable.
When you give your guests disposable cameras, you get disposable pictures. You get what you give. It's that simple.
When you give your guests disposable cameras, you get disposable pictures. You get what you give. It's that simple.
The Ugly
The ugly of disposable cameras is what you do with them after your event. Let's face it. Pictures don't develop
themselves, and they definitely don't mail themselves to your friends and your family.
Let's say you luck out and some of your friends and family do a great job taking pictures with the disposable cameras. Now what? You take a pillow case full of disposable cameras to the picture store, get triplicates made (because you know Aunt Sally will want copies), address and stamp envelopes, and then pay the credit card bill for the hundreds of dollars you spent hoping that the prints turn out?!
Chances are you don't have the time for all of this. But what about the memories?

There's Hope: Rent Digital Cameras From CameraRenter
All that said it's really hard to give-up the chance of hundreds of candid memories
from the eyes of your friends
and family. So don't. Renting digital cameras from CameraRenter does what disposable cameras are supposed to do.
It combines digital camera rental with automatic online picture and video sharing. Think of it like a personalized
version of Netflix, Flickr, and YouTube.

The Good
The cameras are not disposable, so neither are the pictures (or in this case, pictures and videos).
The Better
Wrapping It Up
-
Get digital cameras
You receive a set of fully insured rented digital cameras delivered in a prepaid mailing case (like Netflix, but with digital cameras instead of DVDs). -
Give digital cameras
You, your family, and your friends have a great time capturing all the once-in-a-lifetime moments before, during, and after your event (like disposable cameras"but with better cameras that also record video). -
Remember everything
You, your family, and your friends view download, print, and share all of the pictures and videos from all of the digital cameras you rented for free from your Personalized Memory Sharing Website (like Flickr and YouTube).
The Good
You want a way for your friends and family to capture a lot of candid memories.
Giving them rented digital cameras that can take hundreds of pictures, video, and have those nifty
screens on the back that let them preview the pictures is a great way to make sure that happens.
The cameras are not disposable, so neither are the pictures (or in this case, pictures and videos).
The Better
Everyone sees all of the pictures. Yes...many of your guests will have their own digital cameras.
But how many times have you been at an event and asked someone with their own digital camera "Could you print doubles?"
or "Could you please send me a copy of this picture?" and never see the picture? And that's just the one or two
pictures you asked for. What about all the other pictures that were taken? And let's not get started on how this
would work for videos.
Renting digital cameras will take care of that. You just stick the digital cameras back in the pre-paid mailing case after your event, and in about a week all of the pictures and videos from all of the digital cameras are up on your Personalized Memory Sharing Website where your friends and your family can view, download, print, and share them for free. That's right. All your guests can view, download, print, and share all of the pictures and videos for free. Everyone enjoys everything for free.
After all, what good are cameras -disposable or digital- if nobody sees the pictures and videos they take?

Renting digital cameras is a lot more elegant and eco-friendly than disposable cameras.
When's the last time you've been at an event where you were provided with a digital camera? Seems like a nice elegant touch. Also, the digital cameras, shipping materials, and batteries are reused, and everything is digital so everyone only prints the pictures they really want. That's green. And green is good.

Wrapping It Up
On the day of your event, you will have a million things on your mind. The days after your event you will
have one thing on your mind: remembering and sharing everything from it. Despite their limitations, disposable
cameras play a key role in that. CameraRenter's digital camera rental service stands-up where disposable cameras
fall down and picks-up where disposables cameras leave off.

Paying to get lots and lots of prints made, throwing out all those camera bodies and non album-worthy photos, trying to figure out how to share the pictures with your guests... not so fun and not so eco-friendly. Fortunately, with all the new digital options out there, there is an easier way! " - Christy W, Co-Owner/Co-Founder, junebugweddings.com and Positive Light Photography

I will certainly use CameraRenter’s services again and recommend them to all my contacts."

While we are thrilled with the results from our official photographer, it's the images and video our guests took that completes the story leading up to, during and following the wedding. Turning the cameras loose with the family was the best thing we could have done, as it produced great memories of the family "I do" Dash 5K run/walk, kayaking, singing karaoke, setting up, the ceremony and the reception. And with CameraRenter's quick trunaround, we not only relived the moments the next day via the cameras, but online as well a week later."

- Don B., Events Director, Columbia Tower Club
"I highly recommend CameraRenter to anyone looking to provide a fun way to capture memories of their wedding. I handed out the cameras at the beginning of week to each family and by the end of the week we had an assortment of photos that showed different points of view of our wedding. It also made it easy for our international guests to see pictures and relive the moments though they live so far away."
- Jocelyn E., Bride
Can I use CameraRenter instead of buying a digital camera?
Absolutely. We believe that most people shouldn't
buy a digital camera and would be much better off renting a bunch of them.
Why?
Buying a digital camera will not give you what you want: a lot of great pictures from special events, with little effort. Renting digital cameras will. Let's be honest. How often do people use their digital camera? Maybe a few times a year for special occasions?
Strike one against owning.
And have you ever noticed how you never see any of the pictures taken by the few people who use their digital cameras at special events? When's the last time anyone mailed you doubles or actually emailed you that picture you asked for? What good is owning a digital camera if nobody can see the pictures?
Strike two against owning.
Finally, if you've ever owned any type of camera, have you noticed that no matter how hard you try, there are always a lot more pictures you wish you took than pictures you actually took? It's really hard to enjoy a special event from behind a viewfinder, so we're always a second late for that perfect candid picture opportunity.
Strike three.
So why does anyone buy a digital camera in the first place? Well, much like they think that buying a Super Ab Blaster Deluxe will give them great results with little effort, they think that buying a digital camera will give them great results with little effort. Unfortunately, both purchases don't deliver what they want without a lot of effort.
Fortunately, unlike slimming down a waistline, there is a way to get and share a lot of great pictures from special events with little effort: rent digital cameras.
It works because unlike fitness you can have other people do the work while you enjoy the results. And unlike having your family and friends blast their abs for you, your family and friends will enjoy snapping digital pictures at your special event.
By renting digital cameras, the people who will make your event special have fun capturing a lot of great pictures before, during, and after it. Put differently, you get great results with little effort.
But what about sharing all of these pictures? After the event, you still don't need to lift a finger. All of your pictures are delivered to you on a CD and on a Personalized Memory Sharing Website. You can do anything you'd like with the CD, and you, your friends, and your family can view, download, and print all of the pictures from your website for free.
It's pretty simple when you think about it. Buying a digital camera won't give you what you want with little effort, and renting digital cameras will. So skip the former. Try the latter.
What if a digital camera that I rent runs out
of batteries?
Swap out the rechargeable "AA" batteries with the backup rechargeable "AA" batteries
included with your All Inclusive Rental Packages.
What if a digital camera that I rent runs out memory?
Just pickup another one and keep going. With each digital camera taking over 450 pictures and/or fifteen
minutes of video, this is a good problem to have and is why
our All Inclusive Rental Packages include more than one digital camera.
Tell Me about the digital cameras I can rent
How many pictures can my family,friends, and I take with each digital camera we rent?
Over 450. Put differently, each of the digital cameras you rent can take as many pictures as about 17
disposable cameras.
This ensures that you, your family, and your friends, miss nothing and remember everything before, during, and after your event. Make sure you take advantage of this by using the cameras as much as you can.
How long can my family, friends, and I record videos with each digital camera we rent?
Over fifteen minutes. Remember that disposable cameras can't record any video, so this is a very cool addition to
your event.
Recording video makes it really easy to capture a few minutes of extra special memories here and there. It also makes it easy to watch the videos after your event. No more half hour long shots of the same thing!

Are the digital cameras that you rent easy-to-use?
Yes.
All of your Polaroid digital cameras take pictures and videos with the touch of a button and come with a simple instruction card attached.

How do the digital cameras that you rent compare to disposable cameras?
They are more functionally, elegant, eco-friendly, and easy-to-use.
Renting digital cameras provides the quality and technology necessary to do what disposable cameras are supposed to do, but without all the hassle, waste, or tackiness.
The issue with disposable cameras is not with the idea. It is with the cameras. They are disposable. Because they are disposable, guests treat them like they are disposable. That is why they sit unused or take three or four pictures of the floor. And if guests do take pictures, how will they ever see them?
The digital cameras you will rent are far from disposable. And when you care enough to give your friends and family elegant digital cameras, they care enough to give you back an amazing set of high quality pictures and videos. It is like our mothers always told us: "You get out what you put in."
