TESTIMONIALS:
" Your Canon 5D markII kit was $75 cheaper than the local shops, came with better accessories, and you tossed in a hiking pack instead of the regular bag when you found out I was taking it up a mountain. I will rent from you again! " Vince G.
-Vancouver


" We shot our instructional video on your Canon 5DmkII and 7D kits. I'm extremely happy with the results, far better than if we shot it on our own cameras. It looks so good we are going to charge more per disc than we had planned. Thank you again! "
Jan P. -Langley


" Can't beat your prices anywhere... the Canon 5D markII was worth every penny. Also thanks for helping me find a cheaper studio than we were going to use - nice bonus. "
Brian K. -Coquitlam

" Renting your full production package saved me about $230 PER DAY over what it would have cost me from ---'s Camera. Thank you! "
Vince C. -Richmond

" (unnamed local shop) treats me like an ignorant newb every time I go in... it's nice to rent from someone who actually gives a crap about clients. I will be renting your 7D again, and soon! "
John T. - North Vancouver

" Hi, your Canon 5DmkII & sound package was $120 cheaper than the other quotes I got, and the quality I got from it was fantastic. "
Matt T. - Vancouver

" We rented your Canon 7D and 5D2 as B cameras to our Red One, it intercut perfectly and saved us $1000 per day over renting an extra Red One. My producers are thrilled! "

Tarik H. -Surrey
" Loved the Canon 7D and 5D2 that we got from you. Thanks for the primer in how to use them. The lens selection you gave us was fantastic. Our film looks like it was shot on a Red One. "
Jason R. & Hayley S. -Vancouver

" Vancouver Film School gave me crap to work with, thanks for the hookup, my short looks killer, and better than the students that they gave the good gear to. "
