ok so i shot a short film. I need to record almost all of the sound fx. Foley you could say. Does anyone know the best method to doing so, where i can achieve the best results. Im willing to rent equipment. Is there something i can use thats digital like a nagra?? let me know guys.
 
Do you want to do sound for a living? If so, check out the "Compilation of Post Audio Info" sticky at the top of this forum.

More likely, you're wanting the best results for the film and in that case I suggest hiring someone. You mention renting equipment, which I assume means you have a budget. There are a lot of people (including myself) always looking for new projects to work on.

There's a certain fun in doing all the sounds yourself (part of why I enjoy working in post sound), but as a director I encourage you to find professionals to work with. Most already own the necessary equipment, are experienced in how to use it, and also provide a new set of ears on the project.
 
"The Foley Grail: The Art of Performing Sound for Film, Games, and Animation" by Vanessa Theme Ament is a great place to start, as is "The Sound Effects Bible: How to Create and Record Hollywood Style Sound Effects" by Ric Viers.
