Any reasonable extended warranties for camera gear?

9 years 3 months ago #417102 by Lisa Brookhurst
Just looking at this, not something I'm 100% going to move on.  I guess I want to see what options are out there, cost and what exactly does it cover.  I've been warned about such policies, but can't help to wonder if there are any good plans that other photographers are using for when their manufacture warranty expires.

There are companies that will offer the extended warranties, however if you are looking for "reasonable" rates for this, you'll have  tough time.  These companies stay in business by swinging risk in their favor.

I never buy extended warranties, they are always over priced and never get used.

Extended warranties most of the time only benefit one person, and it's not the person spending the money on the extended warranty.  Personally, I always pass on these sort of plans.  If you do find a company that will cover your existing gear, watch out for their fine print and what they claim they will cover.  And get ready to pay.

If its not covered by the OEM, I'll pass.  There are companies out there that provide coverage, it's just extortion IMO
