Insurance

[Starman]

Does anyone have their 20d insured? I'm thinking about getting my equipment insured.

what's the best one out there?

Ive got 2 x 1DmkII's a 20D and 4 L series lenses plus flash guns and batteries, bags tripods etc etc all covered under my house insurance.
I made sure the insurance company has a copy of every thing ive got and Ive also got a letter from them agreeing to the prices of the cameras and lenses.
Doing it through my house insurance has worked out alot cheaper than going through a dedicated insurance company.

I'm not sure where you are a located but for Canada a single camera body can be covered under your contents home insurance. Not until you start to reach a fairly significant gear list will they want you to carry an special rider on your policy and then charge you extra for it.

I do have all of mine covered to the point that if I accidently drop something it is covered. It costs me about 700.00 CAD for my coverage. Certainly wouldn't hurt to inquire with your insurance agent.

I have my 300d + all lenses/ camera related stuff/ computer equiptment insured thru State Farm under a Personal Articles policy.

about $12,000 total worth of stuff insured for about 150 dollars a year.

Under this policy I could drop my camera in the river or throw it there myself and have it replaced.

The policy has already paid for itself when my computer got a little bit of lightning inside and fried herself up real good.

Get insurance. You'll wont' regret it.

my 2 cents.

Took me a long time to find an insurance company in aus that would cover my room & contents. But just the last few days I found one and also included $3000 personal property for accidental damage for the camera gear
