Hey jaffsmith

I would suggest you to get your HANDYCAM covered under a comprehensive service plan from Consumer Priority Service (CPS). CPS is America’s premier source of service plans specifically designed for consumer electronics and appliances. Even I got my LCD TV covered under their service plan and I must say CPS Extended Service Plans provided me with identical high quality protection as the manufacturer’s written warranty did. You can get more info from their website - www.cpscentral.com
