That is one precious memory that cannot be passed by. So what do you do? Go and rent a MiniDV digital video camera.

Most people are not aware that they can save money by renting video cameras for the few times during the year they are really needed. There are a surprising number of people of pay the big bucks for the nice camera, and then it collects dust in the closet for months at a time. Why not just rent and get the newest and greatest digital video camera for the newest memory in your life.

There are thousands of online rental sites that will FedEx a rented camera straight to your home just in time for that ballet recital tomorrow night. It is important, however, to do a little reading about the online vendor to see if they deliver the quality that you will want for the money. People are allowed to rate the service of the company, and if the company is honest, will post those results. But, to be on the safe, it would be wise to find a third-party web site to see how well their service reviews. If there is a difference between the site's service results and third party reviews, then there's a tip off on how honest that site actually is. Don't ever put a credit card number into a web vendor's page if they are known to be dishonest. The last thing needed is a headache dealing with lost money.

While online rental and shipping of digital video cameras are convenient and reasonable, local camera shops might be the easier and wiser choice. The shops in your area can easily be accessed and their reputations decide whether or not they stay in business. They usually know a lot about the camera market and can give the fairest price for the rental of a digital video camera. While they may not have the state of the art model, they most often will have a very nice selection of camera models to choose from. Another upside to local businesses is the in house expert that is readily available to you. He is standing right there behind the counter ready to help make a decision on the camera you want to rent. One of the main reasons as to why they want your rental experience to be a pleasant one is because most camera rental shops also sell the equipment they rent out. It is good advertising for you to be holding their product at the next sporting event because it will only bring in more customers for them. So rest assured that the motives behind the renter are completely in your favor.

Another place to look for digital video camera rental is at camera repair shops. Many of the servicing businesses also have a rental department of equipment. The benefit of renting from businesses such as these is the assurance knowing the rented camera has been serviced by a professional and has a warrantee that it will work for the time it is your possession.
To find any of these businesses, look in the yellow pages of the phone book. Look under "rental" and there will be a long list of places that rent out all sorts of equipment. From there, finding a quality rented digital video camera is only a phone call away.
