Lost half of my Canon DSLR

[Dylan777]

This inspired me to check what I have insured. I need to add two things... So maybe there might be a small silver lining in that you are reminding others to get their stuff under the umbrella.

JD,
I feel very lucky after all. Expensive camera gear can be replaced through times.

All my kids special moments photos in backup external HDs are MUCH-MUCH more important. Both units seem to be untouched . I'm glad I mounted them behind the table.

Dear Dylan,

I'm very glad to hear that your images were not also stolen. Please keep us posted as you rebuild your kit.

I thought you might want to know that your awful experience gave me the push I needed to take the time to inventory all of my equipment and get it insured with Hill and Usher. When I started the process, I gave them a guesstimate of how much I thought my replacement value would be. When I finished the spreadsheet they sent me and totaled everything up, it was almost twice my initial estimate. I was shocked at the final figure but it's all covered now and I imght still be underinsured had you not chosen to share your experience. So thank you very very much for helping me protect my investments.

I wish you all the best,

Carol

Hi Carol,
I was able to work with the Home Insurance. I got about 75% back on total value, which was good in my case.

As this moment, I plan to shoot half mirrorless and half DSLR. Here is my gear list as 4-3-2015:

Mirrorless: Sony A7s + FE 55mm + FE 28mm f2 + Ultrawide Converter - 28mm to 21mm f2.8

DSLR: Canon 1Dx + 200mm f2 IS + 400mm f2.8 IS II + x2 TC III + 100-400mm mrk II

Just received one of mine favorites today

Kudos. I just spend a week losing shots at an amusement park... but I consider it an acceptable loss because when it hits... it hits.

Sounds like my a7s + FE 55mm... ;D

btw...the new 100-400mm works really good for outdoor.

Dear Dylan,

i'm very glad to hear that you were able to get as much of your gear covered by insurance as you did. And, congratulations on your new kit. It sounds like you are going to have hours and hours of fun with your new acquisitions.

Best regards,
