I want to buy this coverage for a camera but I am not sure if it covers accidental. The site and "terms and conditions" have conflicting statements.

Depends on the coverage you buy. I DID buy accident coverage on my digital camera - and I did indeed drop and break it... I had no trouble getting my FULL purchase price back. I use Square Trade on all my purchases for years. I have filed several claims. Last was for my iPhone - and I had a replacement within a few days. I have not had one single bad experience. I don't work for them - or have any association with the company except as a customer.... I hope that helps

I can't speak to accidental damage, but they were excellent to deal with when my camera seriously malfunctioned. I will not hesitate to buy their coverage another time. I would suggest calling the company and asking them directly about the coverage you are concerned about. Cameras are so complex these days, I think insurance coverage is a "no brainer".

I bought the coverage for cameras that I gave to our grandsons. One of them dropped his brother's camera and Suqare Trade gave me a full refund for the cost of the camera.

I think its a great deal....l have a similar circumstance with the others who posted...bought my wife a digital pocket camera and it was dropped and broke. Square Trade gave us a total replacement with no squabbling about it. I give them an A+.

Square trade is a great protection plan. If you buy accidental drops and spills then it will cover under that circunstances. What it explain later that will not cover if the user drop and break in purpose and not accident, which make sense. Thanks.

It covers my Panasonic home phone system I bought and I do not see why it would not cover your purchase. The only way to be sure though from my point is that if it is offered to you when you make your buy, it will be covered.

I would think so. I have not had to use the protection plan yet, but this is extra insurance that should cover any product purchased.

It covers any and all damage on any item but it is a very slow process. We have been waiting two months for our camera to come back from warranty repairs

I recommend getting coverage through SquareTrade. They assist in determining your coverage levels. my tablet was irreparable and SquareTrade refunded the full price

depends what technically 'not my fault' is... there is coverage for most problems that will go wrong with the camera. I believe it is a good plan

Yes it is covered under the warranty. You may have to produce documentation proving that you're the purchaser.

Mr. Stargazer, Carefully read the terms BEFORE you purchase. I have a Nikon D7100; I purchased a lens with the camera. My lens mount broke. They covered it. I had to send in the lens, and it was repaired and returned to me a no cost other than mailing the lens. However, I've read some reviews that claim the policy will not cover accidental breakage. This was not true in my case; they did cover it. I just cautioning you to be aware of all the terms before you push the buy button. I rated my service 4 of 5 stars.

I'm not all that sure whether they cover electronics like computers or not. I did get the coverage for a wireless router and booster combination but ended up sending the item back so I cancelled the coverage. I know they were very good to work with. But that was through Amazon so I'm not sure how they'd react if I went up against them alone. Amazon actually got me the full refund for what I paid to Smart Guard. I do know they cover a LOT of stuff... ask them. They'll tell you whether or not they will. If the computer you're buying has a "smart guard" offer with it then yeah, they'll most likely cover it.

No, it has a cut out so it doesn't cover the camera. Won't affect your picture taking

I'm not sure. I bought mine from Amazon to cover another product I purchased on Amazon.

probably not.. Its the Insurance I bought when I bought my camera.. So it only covers that camera..

No it wont affect the coverage, but you will have to send the product through US mail and probably it will be returned to a US address as well. So if you don't have these options then you might have a issue.

Square Trade will insure your camera no matter where you bought it as long as it is a recorded transaction. I had my camera on the boat and it rained nd it leaked into the compartment where I thought it was safe. STrade sent me a check no questions asked after I returned the old one to them.

I know firsthand that they only offer the non-accidental protection plan for used smartphones purchased from Ebay which minimally covers the phone against inherent manufacturing issues like electrical/hardware failure. I searched vigorously for an Accident Protection plan for my used Galaxy S3 purchase but ultimately settled for a standard, non-accidental 1-year protection plan.On the bright side, I called them today (some ~6 weeks after original purchase date) with a case of buyer's remorse, still a bit miffed over not being able to get accidental coverage; they immediately gave me a full refund.

If it is from an authorized canon dealer it would be covered. I have no reason to believe that Canon would not cover it under warranty provided that you have your purchase receipt.

Sorry, I'm not sure..I decided not to get this coverage as it didn't provide all the coverage I needed (i.e. on other equipment I had that I wanted coverage on)...
