The biggest problem with the Passport warranty is that it excludes any loss in which the remains of the camera or lens containing the serial number cannot be recovered. This includes what is probably the biggest risk to cameras, theft. The Passport also excludes fire damage. For non-professionals, an all-risk rider to an existing homeowner's insurance policy can usually provide much better coverage. I can attest to this, to the tune of $25,000.00. I had most of my equipment stolen from my house when I was in Europe last year. Make sure you itemize all your equipment then you won't have to pay a deductible if the item is lost or stolen. When you do this you are covered from theft and loss, not damage. Well worth the extra money in my opinion. My wife lost two of her anniversary bands. One was itemized one I forgot to call in when I got it for her. The itemized one was paid for at full value, no deductible. The non-itemized one got me zilch.
