Not a gimmick, but perhaps over valued and over sold . . .

No company issues a warranty unless they have a reasonable expectation of taking in more money than they spend.

It has real value for the photographer, it's just that the real value is nowhere close to the perceived value. The camera manufacturers are selling the sizzle, not the steak.

That being said, when it rains, I put a plastic bag over my camera and lens assembly and shoot away!
