But remember that the Passport warranty doesn't cover theft, fire, or any
loss where you can't recover the remains of the camera/lens. These are
pretty big omissions if you rely only on the Passport warranty as your only
coverage. I have my equipment covered on an "all risk" rider with my
homeowner's insurance. It's not very expensive (if you're not a
professional) and "all risk" means all risk - my fault or not, item
recoverable or not. It doesn't cover  CLAs, though.
