My very favorite camera body, a D4s, started to malfunction. I was getting multiple error messages and called Nikon Professional Services, as a member, ?to discuss and troubleshoot. Although very well cared for, the camera is old. Much to my surprise, Nikon started discontinuing DSLR models and stopped servicing them. My D4s was a dinosaur and irreparable in Nikon’s opinion.

My insurance company started a claim and found that the comparable model for replacement would be a D6. My gut instinct was to move forward and go mirrorless. The insurance issued a check for the cost of the D6. After a lot of research and discussion with fellow photogs, I purchased the Z9 instead.?

And so - did I know that they’d pay to fully ?replace my dead equipment? Had no idea. I’m very pleased with how seamlessly it all went.?

It’s best to check with your insurance company and ask questions. After twenty years, I never had a claim, though I don’t know if that had anything to do with the process. I simply think I found a good company, specific for my professional needs.
