Now, the very best camera insurance is available to many at State Farm with their Personal Articles Policy, it's just great - pays for computers ruined by power surges which home owners policies will not, flooded or stolen cameras, etc. If you can get that where you live, go for it. Can't be beat. They let me go after a few claims tho. :depressed:
I just bought a used cell phone on ebay and the seller had this company send me an email offer, that I took: SquareTrade Warranties | Extended Warranties for 70% Less Than Retail | Electronics Insurance Alternative But they also offer third party warranties with accidental coverage...!!
I'm not concerned about extended warranty as Sealife is just a great company, commonly willing to help a diver beyond the factory warranty, but anyone can break or flood a camera. I have not been carrying my DC1200 as my every day camera (and I do carry one anytime I leave the house) as I'd hate to break it or get it wet, but it looks like I can cover it for that and flooding as well for 3 years for $75 - and they offered me 30% off of that as a repeat customer. They either fix it or refund the purchase price - no deductible. Looks like a good deal to me, maybe if I am willing to stretch the truth in how it got wet? I guess I'd have to call it a spill incident but if they don't ask too many questions, maybe I wouldn't need to lie - which I wouldn't.
Haha their cell phone insurance does have a deductible, but after my grandson drowned one Droid and broke the replacement both in a month, he may be going with them next.

Oops, I did run into one problem. I bought the camera last December and the warranty has to be purchased within 90 days - new or used purchase. Well, not this time, but maybe another time...?
