Pricing

I love this idea, how much does it cost?

Packages start at $199 for 10 high-quality Nikon cameras. Each package includes a personal online photo gallery and USB key with all of your photos and videos. Check out our pricing page for more details.

When comparing prices, remember all of the costs associated with disposables:  film developing, unused film, poor picture quality, and missed photographs of that once in a lifetime candid moment.

Register your event on our site.  During the registration process, you will be asked to enter credit card information.  DigiKnot.com will charge your credit card a $10 deposit to reserve your cameras.

Online Gallery

How long will it take before my pictures become available online?

We will upload your pictures promptly once the cameras are returned to us.  You can expect your pictures uploaded within three days after we receive the cameras.  Normally, we are able to get your pictures uploaded within two days after receiving the cameras.

Will my family and friends be able to view the gallery?

Your family and friends will be able to see your photos as easily as you do.  The gallery does not require registration and can be accessed with the passcode we provide for the event.  We supply information cards for each guest that explains how to view their photographs online.

Can my family and friends upload their pictures onto the gallery?

Many times, guests take pictures using their own cameras.  Your online gallery allows for your guests to upload their own pictures.

Can I download and print full-size pictures from the gallery?

Unlike most services, ALL of the pictures on our gallery can be downloaded in full-size and printed on your color printer, FREE of charge.  You can also take the downloaded files to any store which develops digital photos.

How long will my pictures be available online?

Each device package includes one year of photo hosting.  At your request, we can remove the photos anytime you wish.

 

Device Insurance

What does the device insurance include?

Our device insurance covers normal wear and tear on the devices. Devices that are broke beyond repair which we are unable to use for future clients are not covered by the insurance.  Lost or stolen devices are also the responsibility of the customer.

We’ve been renting our devices for several years and are happy to say we RARELY have issues with broken, lost or stolen cameras.  We are happy to work with you should one of those situations occur.

What if the device is lost or stolen?

You will be responsible for the replacement of lost or stolen cameras.  Our cameras are clearly labeled with our name.  Your guests will understand that you are responsible for the cameras.  We find that theft is rarely a problem. If you have concerns about theft, we recommend putting someone in charge of the cameras and using a checkout system.  You can also hand out the cameras to only close family and friends.

Printing Pictures

How can I print the pictures?

We offer several options for you to print your pictures.  From our website, you can download a full-size version of your pictures and either print them on your home printer or take them to any store that offers digital picture printing.  You can also print all of your photos from the USB drive.  Another option we offer is the ability to have the pictures printed through the gallery.

How much do you charge to print the pictures?

The charges for printing a picture varies through the service we use.  DigiKnot does not make any profit through the service.  We offer it for your convenience.  Generally, a 4 x 6 photo will cost around 20 cents.  Other sizes will vary.

 

USB/DVDs

Can I get a USB drive or DVD with all of my pictures and videos?

With each package, we include a USB drive (key) which contains all of the pictures and videos from your event.  Please contact us if you’d also like a DVD.
