I purchased this camera for my wife and after reading all the reviews decided to purchase the Square trade warranty with it. We honestly haven't had to use the warranty but I've used Square Trade in the past and have had no issues with them so I'm sure they will honor there warranty but if you want to play it safe just contact them and let them know your concern

I have not paid any attention to the warranty conditions. Water resistant? ..... I live in the Puget Sound area and have left the camera out in the rain for as much as four days at a time with no problem.

IMO even if you can find how to get a warranty it's probably not worth pursuing. Mine was bad quality out of the box, and the most that the company is going to do is send you another crappy camera. Personally I have just marked mine up to bad judgement. Lou

I saw on Sony forum that some of the buyers of the product, got those issues.The administrator of the forum, suggested to take it the repair....So there's definetly something ronh with it.

Hi. I chose the extended warranty when I checked out through Amazon. I believe it was somewhere around the ballpark of $12 to $15 and it was through SquareTrade. I thought this was great because I've been doing business with Square Trade for years on electronics I purchase over $100. It should still be offered when you add electronics or appliances to your cart and proceed to the checkout. I can't advise you on other warranties offered but I can with Square Trade. You can also go to their (Square Trade) website and enter in the type of item and the cost and it will give you a price on a two or three year warranty. Let me know if you have any more questions. Good Luck, Jon

All you have to do is call them and they will give you a good deal on a warranty.I have bought cameras here and bought from Squaretrade directly.

Hey I had the same thing happen to me, I had just taken off the rubber protective backing to clean it, and it slipped out of my wet hands (cleaner) and onto hard (practically stone) floor! It shattered mostly at the top.. but it still works perfectly , the camera, mic etc.. all good,! I only bought it 3 months ago, for over 200 bucks, and an apple rep said it would cost over 100 dollars to replace screen~ ! Insane!! I am looking and hopefully have found a clip on set with a hard rubberized clear front, and backing, that will protect it, and hopefully keep it from getting worse! The regular screen protectors will not go on do to "bumpy texture" .... Your post did not say if yours is still working or not, but if it is,, I will let you know if it works.. and you let me know if you get anything out of your warranty. Deal? I hope so! Thanks Kimmy

I purchased my Square trade warranty directly from the Square trade website. And I spoke with a Warranty Specialist because I had a lot more questions and wanted to make sure I understood exactly what the warranty covered before I spent my hard earned money. Visit their website and then give them a call you won't be sorry!

I haven't had to have any repairs and like a lot of people I try to do most of the minor repairs myself. If I can't fix it myself I usually look for a repair center andbite the bullet unless cost is prohibitive. I haven't had much luck on the Sony sight trying to find information on the camera except that they don't make it anymore.One repair center www.unitedcamera.com does repair that camera. Sometimes they have a flat fee for repair. I would checkout the possibility that they might beable to fix it for you. Also I would look for other places that might be able to fix it . Hope this helps. I haven't had to have any repairs and like a lot of people I try to do most of the minor repairs myself.

Yes, I just verified this by checking my owner's manual. (If you drop the camera and it breaks, that is not covered for free, for example.) But Olympus guarantees the camera will be free from manufacturer defects; otherwise, they will fix it for a year from the purchase date. You need to register your camera with the CD that comes in the camera box - this is important to do for the warranty. As a side note, I had to send one of my Olympus cameras in for a repair - which I caused by accidentally dropping the camera - and the Olympus service department is first rate. It was a very easy process, including the payment which Olympus accurately estimates for you prior to sending in your camera. The service time was extremely quick, too. Olympus also guarantees their repair for a time period, which is nice.

I purchased the Square Trade warranty on mine when I ordered it here on Amazon. Since we haven't gotten past the first year, I haven't had a chance to utilize it yet. I have had a repair (a defect from the factory), but I think that was handled by Vizio themselves.Otherwise, the TV has been wonderful so far.

DamnYankee: I really think this is a question for the Square Trade people. Telephone number 877-927-7268. I purchased the accidental damage coverage. It does not specifically mention screen damage it just says "Plan includes damage from item drops, liquid spills or other accidental damage.

After two and half months of daily use, all of a sudden it developed serious spots on the sensor with a large black spot that looked like oil on the sensor. Sent for service, warranty was denied due to a claim of sand in the unit. Quoted over half the price of a new one to repair it. I'm not a construction worker and I havent been to a beach in 10 years. I love the camera, the image quality is beyond reproach and I'm perhaps foolishly seriously considering buying another, but if so this time around it getting a sleeve to protect it while its in my pocket. Additionally, unlike my Rx100, which has spent the last month and half in the very same pocket to no ill effect, the GR screen developed some fine scratches very easily. Be sure to get a protector for it as well. So far, few seem to have experienced this sort of problem, perhaps I was just unlucky, but I've come away thinking that for a pocket cam, its a little more fragile than I'd like. Certainly it would have been a lot better off if it were sealed, with Gorilla glass even if it were priced like the Nikon A.

I talked to the Sony warranty people for over an hour today. This is some of last years 4k parts, so it does have a track record. The panel is new just coming out in September. The one thing I like about the Sony is that they are not getting the Chinese boards. Way too many quality control issues coming out of the student free labor in these electronic plants. The tech high school kids are working for free and the quality shows. Samsung and Panasonic have had quality issues in both the Plasma and LCD/LED, read all the reviews here and you will see what I mean. I own two Samsung's, and switched to Sony, because of returning 3-Plasmas, 3-blu-rays, and having my current Samsung LED fixed twice. I own a PS3 and it just runs, when my Samsung Blu-rays would not. See my latest review on the size of pixels for repair under warranty.

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.

It may be that one covers drops and spills and the other doesn't. You should call Square Trade an ask to be sure, though.

I've used square trade on purchases from several sources. I think it is the best deal going. They repair, replace, or refund almost immediately with little questioning. They have reimbursed having a computer repaired locally. I am very pleased with the service.
