Event Cameras:: Out with Disposable, In with Rented

Add a Comment

by Amy Woidtke (woid-key), Seattle Green Living Examiner

Website at Camera Renter

Are you or someone you know hosting an event soon? Do you plan to purchase disposable cameras for your guests to help you capture the evening? Forget disposables! The better, and eco-friendly alternate, to buying disposables is renting digital cameras. This is for sure a fabulous and more beneficial option.

CameraRenter provides digital camera rentals for events.

How Does It Work?

Easy. 4 Steps.

You order the cameras.
They send them to you.
Your guests take pics of the event, much as they would with a disposable EXCEPT they can see the pics as they happen and retake for a better image if they choose AND they can record videos too, an option which you DON'T get with disposables.
After the event is over, you send the cameras back to CameraRenter and they create a picture and video sharing website where you, your family, and your friends can view download, print, and share all of your priceless memories for free. No need to register. No need to log-in. No passwords to remember.

AND, less waste is generated because unlike with disposables, the only images that will be printed are the ones you and your loved ones CHOOSE to print which SAVES MONEY TOO!

It doesn’t get much cooler than that folks, so check out CameraRenter today. If you are not planning an event in the near future, bookmark them in your event resources folder and call them when you’re ready! Jonathan Bailor is my contact at CameraRenter. He’s super sweet and has the biggest smiley mug ever! How can you resist?!
