Where to rent a professional camcorder?

I need to rent a high end camcorder, and I need advice?

• I am making a short film (a very short film.) I want to get a professional grade camcorder. I was originally looking into the Sony EX3, but for a three or four day rental, it'd cost almost $600 on most websites. I want to rent a camera for around three days, but it most fit into a certain criteria. 1. The rental must be under $350 for the three days. 2. The picture quality must be amazing. I don't care about sound, as it will be stripped out regardless, and dubbed over with an external microphone that we already own. 3. Must look nice in low light conditions (Studio lights will be present, but the scenes will still be rather dark.) 4. There is no security deposit. If I could afford a $2,000 security deposit, I'd have my guys pitch in and just buy a camera. Haha. If you guys could recommend a good camera, find me a link to a cheap, and safe renter, and possibly post some footage of it in work. Whoever can nail the most optimal camera for me will definitely get the best answer, and a thank you on our video. Thanks everyone.

• Answer:

  I'm unaware of rental prices in US, because I'm based in europe, but I believe the EX1 fulfills your needs, and it's ~almost identical to the EX3. Else you should take a look at the Panasonic HVX200, which is in the cheap end whilst maintaining quality for the price. You should call your local/cheapest ( ;) ) rental firm or go visit them - most gear nerds love to discuss equipment, and perhaps you can strike a great deal then. I wish you the very best with your production
