Important: Update Your Insurance Policies

[Andy M]

Canon, and I would think Nikon too, have massively increased the price of their goods over the past few weeks (on average around 20% increase) and as a result your insurance policy may have out-of-date listings for the replacement values of your kit.

I've just updated mine and incurred an extra £14 off Photoguard (my insurer), but it's better than being left out of pocket...

Very good point. In fact, even wider, people should revisit contents insurance full stop. As we're people that generally like electric trickery gadgets, most of them are rising too.

i would imagine you two gents are CPS members ?
i've just jumped ship to Aaduki Insurance and their "new for old" policy is linked to your equipment as listed at CPS.
also very nice people, unlike the last lot ...

Quick question. Should you insure to the amount your stuff is worth or what it would cost to replace with new?

I think it depends on the policy but as a rule I'd insure gadgets at what they cost to replace (either new, or on the secondary market if they cant be sourced new).

I need to revisit my cover as most of my collectable stuff is traded in $$s and therefore I've seen a rise in value just off the back of exchange rate changes.

Doing fine cheers Dave! Going to be a rubbish year in the city so I'm having to actually work for my living for once, so photography has taken a back seat a bit. Must be a few changes going on in IoM as well I'd guess...
