Most aftermarket "extended protection" plans are a bit dodgy, IMO. AMEX extends the OEM warranty terms a year, iirc, and can include theft or breakage protection for a time as well. Though for a camera and lenses of this price level, I'd recommend a floater policy in your homeowners insurance policy if you're not a professional.
