TELL ME ABOUT CAMERARENTER'S CAMERAS


 
How many pictures can be taken with each photo/video camera?
To make sure you and your friends and family can remember everything, each CameraRenter's digital photo/video camera can take over 250 high quality photos.

 
How long can I record videos with each CameraRenter camera?
Each CameraRenter digital photo/video camera can record over twenty minutes of digital video and audio.

 
Are CameraRenter's cameras easy-to-use?
Yes, all of our cameras take photos and videos with the touch of a button and come with a simple instruction card attached.

 
How do CameraRenter's cameras compare to disposable cameras used at some events?
Camerarenter provides the quality and technology necessary to do what disposable cameras are supposed to do, without all the hassle. The issue with disposable cameras is not with the idea. It's with the cameras. They're disposable, and because they are disposable, they are treated like they are disposable. That's why they sit unused or are used to take three or four pictures of the floor.


CameraRenter's digital cameras are far from disposable, and our clients have found that they are treated accordingly. When you care enough to give your guests high quality digital cameras, they care enough to give you back an amazing set of high quality photos and videos. It's like our mothers always told us: "You get out what you put in."
