What are the requirements and which sites offer this? Whether its RED cameras, BMCC, or Canon Cinema cameras? I'm in the market for a new camera.
If you are a DP/Cinematographer that's one thing;
To add to this - if you check top DP's rarely they own any equipment besides light meter and such.

When you're trying to get good a cinematography you do not need
a RED. Frankly, you do not need a camera you need to finance. You
need a camera you can use to learn. One that you can afford. Because
as soon as you are out of the learning stage you will need top of the
line, current gear. And to keep that up, you rent.

Jet, camera retailers are not like auto retailers – none of them own are
are part of a lending institution. You want to finance a camera you'll
have to go through a legit financial institution. Since you're in the market
for a new camera and you need a high end camera that's the only way
I know of to finance one.
The OP is not top DP .
