I'm in desperate need of a camcorder for an event this Sunday - and I too found hireacamera.com. Seeing as you asked about them some 2 years ago - and they're still about - they've at least demonstrated that they're not fly-by-knights.
Anyone had experience with these guys, or anyone else for that matter ? hireacamera.com can give me a Sony Handycam HDR-SR7E for £83 for a weekend - a bargain I think given the £700+ cost of the camera.
Anyone with experience ??
ps - does this qualify for the longest bumped thread?
