Ouch, I read the title and could guess what happened...

Maybe I should start looking into getting my gear insured?

Thanks guys! Damn, if it had been a 500+, I'd have needed long-term therapy. Yikes.


Yes, insure your gear. Even if you're anal & take good care of it. I know my brains are a little scrambled, but I never thought I'd be distracted enough to do anything like that.

I heard from an adjustor yesterday. She said it'll take 3-5 days to get confirmation of replacement costs, then they'll send me a check. Just like that I thought they'd need my receipt or something. Cool.

How much does a rider like that cost, roughly speaking? I can't remember if you mentioned that, or if you even want to.

I almost destroyed my 40D and 17-55mm this weekend.

I was hiking near a river/water fall and slipped on some wet rocks, luckily as I was falling I remembered my camera and fell on my wrist/arm instead

when I checked the camera thou the hood and body got scuffed up, I swear I saw dollar signs flying out of it.

John, I meant to look into this and get back to you, but it completely slipped my mind. I'll be updating mine, so I'll get back to you.

Glad you didn't get hurt worse. While breaking your gear would suck, I don't think it's worth breaking your bones to protect.

As a point of reference I have a rider on my home insurance for my camera gear - XSi, 100-400mm and other lenses and flash, about $4k. The rider costs $65/year.

^That sounds in line with mine - I want to say it's around $100-$125 for ~$8K worth of gear.

Your both (wndrlst and mizouse) better off then i am. while in africa, i only brought my n5005. riding in the back of a landcruiser, i was snapping shots of a herd of elephant. we hit a bump and my camera smacked me in the chin. it was enough force to crack my lens reflex and the rest of my shots from the trip (~300, unbenknowst to me) had light leak all over them
