[FOR SALE]: Canon PowerShot SX30 IS - $100
It's a point and shoot camera with pretty awesome zoom, great condition. The screen does a nifty pop out/rotational thing so not only is it protected from scratches, but you can move it to pretty much any angle you need to take your shot, including selfies. Comes with battery (still good) and charger, and I could probably dig up the manual if I needed to.
Have a sampling of pictures taken on a Peru trip a couple of years ago with this very camera. It's done us well, but I picked up a mirrorless camera the wife's Christmas gift this year so we'd have something a little more compact to take hiking and whatnot, so it's time for this guy to go.
Renting a good camera doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to get good pictures; how good you are with a camera and how much you are willing to learn are the most important factors. If you're looking into a DSLR then you need to take time to learn the camera and what settings to use when before you depart. Additionally, you'll probably need to get a better lens for it as well (whether renting or buying).
I guess what im trying to say is if you want a DSLR you need atleast a few weeks learning it + $1000 entry cost if purchasing, if you go for the low end model (Rebel XS body and, lets say, Tamron 18-270mm 3.5-6.2 VC Lens with rebate) and Understanding Exposure (http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Exposure-3rd-Photographs-Camera/dp/0817439390/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310284264&sr=8-1 ) is a highly recommended book for learning how to get started.
I don't know renting costs near you.
If you're looking for something less sophisticated but still want some power behind your punch look into something like the SX30IS (http://www.amazon.com/Canon-SX30IS-Digital-Optical-Stabilized/dp/B0041RSPR8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310284110&sr=8-1) or http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-SX130IS-Stabilized-3-0-Inch/dp/B003ZSHNG8/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1310284168&sr=8-10
Amazon has one used for $117.78.
I just picked up the Canon SX30 IS a few weeks ago. I had to replace my S1 IS due to an unfortunate incident involving sea water.
I've become quite loyal to Canon. The CCD in the S1 was defective and mine started malfunctioning about a year ago. Canon has actually acknowledged the issue and is providing free out of warranty repair. They paid shipping both ways and fixed it with no hassle.
Haha, of all reddit of course you would be the only one to respond. Anyway, that does look pretty good. Getting some b-day money soon and grandma wants me to buy a camera with it.
EDIT: What do you think about this one?
