Vacation Question 2: Would You Rent a Camera?
Continuing the question series - here is Question 2:
Question 1 had to do with what kind of camera would you use on vacation. While I was thinking about this issue while on vacation, I noticed that there was a booth advertising cameras for rent. It occured to me that I have seen such camera rental places at most large points of interest, especially the larger and more popular ones. I guess this question applies mainly to DSLRs (though please feel free to talk about Point and Shoot cameras as well). Cameras these days can be quite expensive. The DSLR bodies are certainly expensive but it is actually the lenses that can really put a dent in your wallet.
Of course there is the issue of one actually carrying all that heavy equipment in one's luggage. Plus, I tend to be quite paranoid about my electronic equipment so I tent to carry it on which makes the bags that I personally carry around quite heavy. So here is my question - do you guys ever rent cameras? What about camera equipment? Waterproof casing comes to mind first in that regard since it is something that is quite expensive and is one that people use relatively rarely.
