Have you ever dreamt of taking professional photographs with a high-end camera, but the price is just beyond your reach? 

Well, with the new rental programme, Fujifilm South Africa makes it easier than ever before to get behind one of their mirrorless cameras. 

In the current economic circumstances, buying a new camera can be a difficult financial endeavour. It is for this reason that Fujifilm South Africa is introducing its new Rent-to-Own programme.

 Through an easy online or in-store process, customers can now rent a Fujifilm product, with the opportunity to keep it after a set period of time. This applies to Fujifilm’s X-Series of mirrorless cameras, including the new X-T100 and X-H1, as well as the Fujinon range of lenses.

Customers looking to sign up for the Rent-to-Own programme have the option to rent select cameras and lenses over a six, 12, 18 and 24-month period including a number of alternatives to owning the product. 

The first is to simply return the equipment after the rental period expires, or to continue to rent but at a reduced rate. For many, the preferable option would be to pay a once-off fee of R600 to own the equipment outright after the agreed upon period has concluded.

To become part of Fujifilm Rent-to-Own programme, customers must fill in the online application with all the necessary details for approval of the deal.  The website calculates the exact rental price per month, with the ability to also add a deposit to bring down the cost per month.

Eslie Basson, National Sales Manager at Fujifilm South Africa, believes the Rent-to-Own programme should make the prospect of owning a high-end camera a lot easier. 

Basson notes that videographers, wedding photographers and photography enthusiasts looking to invest in better equipment can do so without breaking the bank. 

“The Fujifilm Rent-to-Own system is designed to provide photographers with options to suit their pocket. Now they can pay as little as R350 a month on select products and get exactly what they want, without the high upfront cost.” 

Customers can also sign up for the Fujifilm Rent-to-Own system at a number of camera shops partaking in the programme.
