Do I have to purchase this 4-year protection plan together with the camcorder or can I purchase it separately at a later date?

The Anti-Theft offer doesn't come with the product. They offer $1500 coverage for $10/year that is applicable to this product, but you still need to pay for it.

I bought my computer from Amazon and purchased a four year protection plan through Smart Guard Protection. I'm not sure if you can do it with yours since they were purchased at Walmart and eBay, but it can't hurt to check into it. Their website is www.mysmartguard.com

I am not for sure. But i got the coverage just in case. I think it might be 2 weeks to 1 month after purchase. I highly recommend it. I have never had to use any my protection plans yet but would not be without them on electronics.

Yes, for the most part. You might want to purchase the "Apple Care Protection" plan which provides a few more years of warranty. You have to purchase the Apple Care Plan within one year after your purchase.

I'm not so sure about that. Sure there are better camcorders out there now, but they're also more expensive. Unless you absolutely must have bleeding edge technology, I don't see any reason not to pick up a camcorder that's a couple years old at a discounted price. If it was amazing 2 years ago, it's still quite good today.

my plan does not cover camcorders...it was offered when I purchased the canon camera and is only 2 year. I do believe if you purchased a camera or camcorder and were offered the square trade plan, you should be able to insure your camcorder and that you would like the coverage...Hope my answer helps

Manufactures warranty is covered for one year from the purchased date some items may cover two to three years Check the user guide with your digital camera regarding the rules, if it is applicable to the problem you re encountering, if you re unsure contact the store and seek further advise, if you have purchased extended warranty you will have to check if these covers accidental damages,

I did not buy the Accident Protection Plan. I think it depends on what you are going to do... If you'll be in situations where you could drop or other wise damage the camera then buy the plan.

Yes, it's a year on manufacturing issues..but most situations are deemed user-caused, dropping, dust, moisture, etc. I purchased the extra protection for more years via Amazon that also covers camera operator mistakes/issues. On a piece of gear this expensive, its inexpensive insurance for the long haul.

It comes with a individualized warranty 'card' which you need to validate purchase/warranty issues that has the S/N on it and details the warranty process/inclusions...which, I believe, is the standard 1 year. I can't be more specific than this as I bought camera as a gift and don't have the info in front of me....just going from memory.

Now, that, spending more money on the camcorder instead of the transfer, makes a lot of sense, since the connotation is that is would be far less costly. As I'm sure you know, the worst phrase to use on a shoot is "We'll fix it in post." Thank you for your comments; all this info is really helping!Any suggestions as to what con or prosumer camera (keeping in mind cost, of course) to use? I am not married to any one brand as the tech is fairly similar between them all, I would think, but there are advantages to some, I;m sure.

If you mean, the listed "purchase price," so far as I know, it is a one-time charge. You are purchasing this "protection plan" much as any other item--the difference being: you buy it, and hope you never have to use it. I can't report on how things go if you do have a problem with the "protected" item.

Lauren, there should be a $250-$299.99 option. If not, you can get it directly from SquareTrade at: http://www.squaretrade.com/camera-warranty. I would go with the correct plan.

1 year. But you can buy the extended warranty. I don't think you should though. If the camcorder is going to be broken, it will likely come broken, and you can return to amazon no problem. The camcorder is quite sturdy. I've dropped it a few times and it's still okay. :) It seems really flimsy because it's so light, but it actually is quite well built.

I am not sure, as Mary said I would call them and make sure. Also, the place where you are possibly buying from, may have a protection plan too. I would call the company(s) that offer the protection plans and see which one is most likely to offer the better plan.
