The point is that DV cameras haven't been made in several years now.
That means that whatever you may want to rent (Africa or Europe, no
matter), such cameras will be somewhat older. If they're rental cameras,
that means they'll have seen some abuse, and won't be in as good a
state. Even if we can still find rental DV cameras (possible, but not
likely), I anticipate multiple issues that I'd prefer to avoid.
Having our own cameras (which we know) is therefore a better idea, even
if that turns out to be slightly more expensive.

Good point, I'll do so (once I have reactivated my logon -- apparently
forgot my password)
