No- the tv does not have to be bought from amazon- Just E-MAIL square trade for a retailer near you that sells the protection plan.

Kodak was in bankruptcy and came out in, I believe, Jan 2013. I believe there is warranty support and this might be something you would want to take up with Amazon. As I see it, Amazon takes some responsibility for the companies products they sell. If you have problem with it and don't feel comfortable with buying their products then maybe you should shy away from it. Myself, I feel confident that Amazon won't leave me out in the cold if something goes wrong with one of the products they sell. Hope this helps. By the way, the Camera is great. We bought this for my grandson. I have an older model which I've had for three years and it is working great. Kodak was in bankruptcy and came out in, I believe, Jan 2013.

Susan, as far as I know the plan is offered when the item is purchased through Amazon. You would have to contact Square Trade directly to answer your question.

I trust Amazon. Whatever you do, please don't deal with Broadway photo. THEY were going to sell me a grey market camera and not tell me. Please do be wary, but Amazon.com would surely be a safe bet.

No, you can purchase your new camera anywhere and then buy the Square Trade warranty through their website with 30 (?) days.Edited to add: Square Trade is awesome, I literally dropped my camera (which was only 2 weeks old) into a toliet and they replaced it! I chose the amazon gift card option b/c they give you an additional 5% of the value. Bought my new camera through amazon.

Thank you for posting your question. As of today January 13, 2014 this item is currently sold by various sellers. While some seller's carry the same returns policy as Amazon.com, others do not. I would suggest having a look at each seller's help page for further information. To view each seller's detail page click on their name and "detailed seller information" then scroll down to the returns policy section. For your convenience here is a link to a list of all the sellers who are selling this camera:

I think you have a window of time to purchase the protection plan. I waited until after I received the camera and knew for sure I would not return it and then purchased it--probably 5 days after the purchase. Be sure to send them a copy of the invoice from Amazon. It is VERY easy to do.

No. The internal storage is really small also, so in order to have use of the camera make sure you buy one or already have one.

Yes. When you deal with Amazon you are getting the USA warranted with the camera. That is why I like to buy through Amazon. They research the companies they deal with to make sure they are reputable.

I read the entire plan, decided it had too many loopholes, and returned it for an actual Nikon plan that Amazon offered. I am sorry, but I can't remember if shipping was part of this less-than-perfect warranty plan.

Yes, if you purchase the correct plan. There customer service is excellent. No long wait and very helpful. You should not hesitate to call them.

I just called them. You can NOT use this plan for products outside of Amazon (i.e. eBay). This plan can only be used for products purchased at Amazon - you can add the warranty to your shopping cart at the time you buy. I didn't ask them how long consumers have to purchase the warranty -- Square Trade says you have to buy within 30 days, for example. Should've asked... oh well.

I believe so. I also purchased the so called two pack. Amazon customer service does not intervene. They told me to ship it back and purchase the item again. That seems stupid as I may still only get the one camera again. It is false advertising and my purchase still has not been resolved.

If you really want to use the camera I would suggest buying a card. They are not expensive, as a matter of fact I always keep an extra card or two handy just in case. The alternative is returning and waiting for them to resend. :)

Actually, I had pre-ordered my camera directly from Amazon (paid Amazon price, Amazon shipped it to me, etc.) about a month ago and I received my camera last week. I noticed since then that the camera is back to pre-order status, so maybe Amazon really means "out of stock"?

You'll have to ask a lawyer about that one - I'm sure there is 'expectation of privacy' issues, even where a fake camera in involved. Of all places, Amazon isn't the place to ask for legal advice :)
