You're the SME (subject matter expert) on this one. But. Maybe we should consider retitling this question to be more along the lines of "How do I determine the equivalent replacement model for my camera's insurance coverage?" | |

| Jul 6, 2021 at 9:32 | comment | added | Tetsujin | I'm not sure it would make a separate answer really - you've already got the bulk of it, just go ahead & incorporate as much of this info as you like. No worries. | |
| Jul 6, 2021 at 9:29 | comment | added | inkista | @Tetsujin You so totally need to write that up as a separate answer! | |
| Jul 6, 2021 at 8:01 | comment | added | Tetsujin | You need to be smart to try this, but sometimes you can use the wording to your advantage - "equivalent value" is the key term. if you can 'prove' with sufficient certainty that the new price of the original plus inflation equals the new price of the, say 90D, then you can end up with an upgrade. [I used to work in insurance, it's all about getting your wording right on your claim;)) | |
