[QUOTE="filterxg, post: 197873, member: 15633"] I guess from my point of view there are two ways I can look at it. The first is if an average out of warranty repair costs $200 (I've got no clue if that's right), then it should be $200 * likelyhood of needing repair during the warranty period. I'd imagine this would mean that anything more than $20 or so would means I'd come out ahead. It's a gamble for sure, but a relatively safe one for somebody who doesn't make money off photography. The second is more the gut reaction where I'd say the "peace of mind" is worth another say another 15% (again no clue, but seems about right). So for a $700 camera that's $105. That's seems about right, but again I'm not sure if I have enough information to judge. [/QUOTE]
