go to a store
2008-10-09If you're wanting coverage on something, buy at a local store so you can get the benefits without jumping through hoops and not getting benefits anyway. Also, was told I could get refund, but had to jump through hopes for that too, and never got it.

NOT YET SHIPPED.
2007-05-28This is an useless product. I purchased this for my camera a month ago. My camera has 2 year manufacturer's warranty. So this is same as 1 year service plan. It's not even shipped yet. I didn't even get it. I wasted my $36.

Worth the added cost, but it took 1 1/2 months to arrive.

Looking at the policy there is a policy number that I'm sure someone would ask for if I needed service. Without this number, I'm sure it would not have been as easy to get service as it would be with the number.

What white balancing does is adjust the intensity of the colors being recorded according to the existing light. Make sure you white balance every time the lighting conditions change; if you record video inside and then go outside, your lighting conditions have changed and you need to instruc ...
