| Dec 24, 2012 at 5:09 | comment | added | Caleb | @ChaithanyaM I read it this way: "...selling/returning the extra body and lenses...", i.e. just the ones that you don't want, not necessarily the entire kit. | |
| Dec 24, 2012 at 3:53 | comment | added | Chait | @Caleb: None taken - I thought "selling/returning the extra body and lenses" (emphasis added here just to make the word stand out) would mean not just the body or the lenses. Nevertheless, it's all good - sometimes it's good to know what I see is not necessarily what others see too. | |
| Dec 23, 2012 at 23:09 | comment | added | Chait | @Caleb: I did not intend to return just the body, I never hinted that. I don't think the retailer would even accept the partial return. I have my own lenses for the T2i, so if I return, everything in the kit goes back. | |

Btw, I did see a couple of places like lensrental and barrowlenses renting the T3i body, but all these were online only - that's when I thought about renting my gear. | |

| Dec 22, 2012 at 8:29 | comment | added | MikeW | I don't know for sure, but in my limited experience with rentals, they only do high end stuff, and they'll probably want to own the equipment they lease for insurance, depreciation reasons for a start. | |
