Try Before You Buy: Rent a Camera in Singapore Before Buying

Rent the Fujifilm X100VI, Ricoh GR, Sony A7 IV, FX3 or Osmo Pocket 3 for a day before spending thousands on one.

Why rent before you buy

Reviews and spec sheets cannot tell you how a camera feels in your hands, whether the grip suits you, or if you will actually carry it every day. A one-day rental costs a small fraction of the price and answers these questions on your own shoot.

Popular cameras people try first

Fujifilm X100VI: the fixed-lens compact everyone talks about. Rent it to see if a single 35mm-equivalent view suits your style and if the film simulations match the look you want. Ricoh GR IIIx and GR IV: truly pocketable street cameras. Test whether you are happy without a zoom and with the snap-focus workflow. Sony A7 IV: the all-round full-frame hybrid. Try it with a lens you are considering, like the 24-70mm GM II. Sony FX3: a compact cinema camera. Rent it for a real video job to check the workflow, audio and heat handling for your needs. DJI Osmo Pocket 3: a tiny gimbal camera for vlogs and travel. See if it replaces your phone for video.

How to get the most from a test day

Shoot what you normally shoot, not test charts. Try it in low light, check how the files look on your editing setup, and note anything that annoys you. Bring your memory card if you want to keep the files. If you are comparing two models, use our Compare page or rent both.

Booking

Add the camera to your request list and send it on WhatsApp. You collect during our set collection window the day before your rental, and return during our return window the day after, so a one-day rental covers your whole shoot day.
