What do you get for your money? Do you get a whole shooting kit? If not, perhaps rent to begin with, and use the profits to build up a shooting kit as required (if you decide to do more corporates) For instance a basic shooting kit http://www.maniacfilms.com/rental/sony-pmw200-shooting-p-587.html inclues legs, mic, batteries, lens, etc. And a rented kit is somebody else's problem to put right if it doesn't work. Find your local hire place and ask them what they have and what deals they can offer.
Only you'll know for sure, but remember professional DoP's rarely own their own kit.
