Every DP (Director of Photography) needs a good camera package at his disposal, but assembling one usually takes a lot of time and a lot of money. For smaller production houses with less capital, getting the camera package together usually means getting it a la carte. Yesterday a friend of mine from Filament Artists turned me on to Zacuto - a one-stop-shop for camera package sales and rentals. They bundle some of your favorite prosumer gear (HD and SD) with specific accessories to fit your shooting needs. You can rent, purchase, or rent-to-own. A quick glance at their website will show you that these guys rent and sell some serious gear. And they recognize and cater to the various needs of the cinematographer.
