Avoid extended warrenties.
so we are supposed to throw the 300 buck electronic away and buy a new one for no reason?

most electronics don't deprecate that much for the same functions. and extended warranties are very worth it. I paid 100.00 for a 5 year *everything* warranty. seeing the sensitive nature of cameras and the ease at which they can be screwed up you are foolish to stay will a 1 year warranty when a 5 year is usually available for less that 10% of the total cost.
