It&#8217;s a good way to get a heads up on what you&#8217;ll be seeing (and what you&#8217;ll be asked for) in the coming content year. In the same vein, I decided to take a look back at the camera trends of 2019, and where they&#8217;re heading as we dive deeper into 2020. I used ShareGrid\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/insights.sharegrid.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">continually updated rankings<\/a> of the most rented and purchased cameras and camera gear as my reference, so shout out to them.<\/p>\n<p>I found some interesting trends this year compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/most-popular-gear-rentals-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">2018<\/a>, but honestly, the most shocking thing is the similarities between the two lists. Below, I&#8217;ve broken the information down into two sections: gear and cameras and rentals vs. purchases.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s take a look.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"top-camera-rentals-of-2019\">Top Camera Rentals of 2019<\/h3>\n<p>Affordability reigned supreme at rental houses in 2019, as we take a look at the cameras at the top of the rental rankings. Our craft is constantly welcoming wave after wave of amateur filmmakers, and more affordable cameras for more modest budgets was quite the hit this past year.<\/p>\n<h4
