Digital Camera Insurance: How to Protect Your Investment

Most consumers spend weeks or months searching for the right digital camera. Whether people intend to use their new camera for family photos, capturing moments in nature or vlogging, photography consumers consider factors such as cost, amount of use and how long the camera will last. Beyond focusing on a specific budget and specifications such as whether it is a point-and-shoot or entry-level digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera, smart shoppers want to make sure they can use their camera for years to come.

Many cameras come with a basic warranty through the retailer or certified refurbisher, but is that enough? At Upsie, we believe photographers should feel comfortable using such a valuable investment by protecting their purchase with digital camera insurance or a high-caliber warranty.

Upsie warranties go far above and beyond a manufacturer’s warranty coverage to help ease your mind, whether you are snapping birthday pictures in the backyard or are out in rugged terrain shooting video for a professional vlog post.

Most of the time, cameras come with a manufacturer’s warranty that lasts up to 90 days, or a refurbisher’s warranty that lasts up to 30 days. Upsie coverage starts 31 days after you sign up and overlaps the standard warranty coverage that comes with the device. Our service saves customers up to 70% by cutting out the middleman for the same repair service.

Additionally, we provide accident protection for drops and spills that are not included in the standard warranty. You can quickly find a cooperating local certified repair facility to get the job done quickly, so you can start snapping photos again within days.

No matter how careful you are with your camera, accidents happen. They frequently occur after the original warranty’s expiration. Since extended manufacturers’ warranties through retailers are often expensive—often spiraling up to a 900% markup—it makes sense to search for an affordable solution in case you drop your camera and damage it.

Digital camera insurance is invaluable for photographers who want to keep equipment in good condition. Most people cannot afford to pay out-of-pocket for repairs or replacements, and with the right extended warranty, you preserve the life and full functionality of your camera. You don’t have to be accident-prone to experience a single moment that can damage your gear, so an extended warranty is worth your peace of mind knowing that you can enjoy your camera without worry.

With an Upsie digital camera warranty, we cover accidents that include drops and liquid damage from spills or submersion.
