Over here there's insurance and there's 'new for old' insurance. The latter costs more but you actually get sensible amounts if the stuff's nicked. The former isn't worth the premium unless you have agreed value before the event, otherwise your mint IIIg will suddenly become 'an old camera' and they'll try and suggest a noddy P&S as a replacement. And don't even think of asking about cover if you ever sell your pictures. dmorton@cix.compulink.co.uk | "The loss of an old man david@cassandra.compulink.co.uk | is like the destruction Kilburn, London, England. | of a library"
