Wedding camera help!

For those of you who purchased your table cameras from e-bay, which vendor did you use? It seems that they are all the same cameras just different people selling them. Help!!

Not that this will answer your question, but I just saw this on the 05 board and I thought you might be interested.

Cameras

Re: Wedding camera help!

I used Cameras1001 on ebay. They will be here in a day or so -- so I'll let you know how they look. I know someone else here used this ebay vendor also - but I can't remember who.

I think what you need to be careful of is if they are reloaded cameras and what the expiration date of the new film is and who did the loading. You could get already exposed film from a lousy loading job or the film could be old and not turn out.

Re: Wedding camera help!

Thank you to both of you. I was able to find cameras for $3,95 each (if you buy 20 you get one for free) from a vendor called Wedding Cameras I found them on e-bay for 2.99 but I wanted to make sure they are all legit. Some of them specifically say that they are 'new' cameras - not reloaded. I guess it just scares me that they even have to say that!!!

belleboyd, you won't know if yours are any good until after you develop them, right? I guess I can wait a few more days before ordering mine so I will wait to hear what you have to say.

Thanks again for your help!!

I got my favors from Kathy of Follow your Heart (a vendor here) I know she had good prices on cameras.

But ebay I don't know.

Re: Wedding camera help!

Soon2beMrs, MsMeri and Stacey, how was the quality of the pictures from these cameras? I guess I am OK spening a few cents or so more per camera if I know the quality of the picturs is going to be good. It is certainly not my intention to sacrifice quality for the mighty dollar!

I didn't use them, but FM Kathy and ask her. She is soo nice. I'm sure other brides have told her the quality

Re: Wedding camera help!

We also bought ours from cameras1001 on ebay. We picked that vendor b/c it had a lot of positive feedback. They haven't arrived yet (and our wedding isn't for a while!), so unfortunately I can't tell you how well they worked. Here's hoping!

Re: Wedding camera help!

I'm waiting for Staples to put them on sale for .99 cents each. Julz got them around Thanksgiving for that price. I go to Staples at least once a week to check it out. I know, I'm a nut.

I wish I had that luxury but since my wedding is that weekend, I think I would just about freak out if I didn't have my cameras yet!!!! I think I have a little OCD when it come to this wedding and I just want to be DONE with all the little things like the table cameras.
