Kit, The above assumes that you can retrieve the remains of your M7. If you haven't noticed that it's hit the road until you're at your destination or if it's gone over the side of the mountain road, you'll probably be hard pressed to find it - in which case Passport protection won't do a thing for you. Some simple math (using approximate figures): Right now, it appears that Passport protection adds about $350 to the price of an M7 or about $115.00 per year. I can add "all risk" camera coverage to my home owners insurance policy for about $10.00 per $1,000.00 covered. So, all risk coverage on a non-Passport M7 costs me about $22.00 per year. Not only have I saved a lot of money, but I have better coverage. An all risk insurance rider covers me against theft, fire and any incident in which I can't recover the camera.
