Financing a camera
 

Greetings.

Is there a reputable company that has a financing program for the XL2?

Thanks,

Financing is crazy. You will pay too much in interest in doing so. Better to cooperatively own one camera between two or three people (and have a well defined exit plan) than to pay the financing company what could have been better spent on a good tripod and 3x lens.

Well, although (as Chris pointed out) financing will cost you more, there may be valid reasons where financing is a good option. Like if you need a camera to shoot a paying project.

I don't have any names for you, but I'd suggest going to your bank for a loan, if this is for a business venture and you have some capitol.

I'd also suggest buying a cheaper camera. A used XL1s or DVX100 is less than half the price of an XL2.

Dell has financing for purchases & is an authorized Canon dealer.

Apple sells the XL2 & offers financing plans.

You can also apply for financing thru paypal & then purchase at evsonline.com or bhphotovideo.com both of whom sponsor this site.

Or you could write a kick-ass screenplay, sell it to some famous actor's production company & then finance your own project.
