Frequently asked questions

Is the Canon EOS C70 worth buying to rent out?

It depends on your market and booking frequency. In high-demand cities like Los Angeles and New York, the Canon EOS C70 is one of the most requested cameras on rental platforms. In smaller markets, finding consistent bookings is harder. Use the calculator above to model your specific scenario.

Should I rent the Canon EOS C70 as body only or full kit?

Full Kit listings command $250-$400/day compared to $100-$200/day for body only, but require a $8,000 upfront investment vs $5,499 for body only. The higher-tier listing typically has a better ROI per dollar invested if you can maintain consistent bookings.

What fees should I expect on Sharegrid?

Sharegrid charges a 15% service fee on all bookings. Multi-day rentals also typically receive a 10-30% discount off the daily rate. This means your net earnings per day are lower than the listed rate. The calculator above accounts for the 15% platform fee.
