Lease options for Canon XH A1 at DVinfo.net

Clare Springs · March 1st, 2009, 08:59 AM

Hello everyone =] I have done tons of research and want to buy a Canon XH A1 for a video job. But when it comes to getting the thing, I would rather lease than buy simply because I would prefer to stretch the payments monthly.

My budget is low... ideally a second hand unit would be good with some warranty left and not too much use...is that possible to find on a lease?

B&H do lease - but only to businesses with established credit - is there anyone else that can lease based on an individuals credit?

I did see vistek.ca also lease - has anyone used them in the USA?

Thanks so much for any help!

Calumet has leasing on their site and Best Buy has no interest for 18 months.

Thanks - but Best Buy has it for sale for $3,999 and Calumet $3,500 straight purchase - let alone the cost of leasing added on to that.... Shame, as Best Buy would of been great had it been $1,000 cheaper =]
