Question

Is it worth paying $40 extra for Accidental Damage plan for a camera at Best Buy?

Answer 1

If you have little experience protecting a camera from being dropped or exposed to fluids (this happens when you had others your camera), then yes.  If you are an experienced photographer, you may find spending the $40 on more memory cards, more satisfying.

Answer 2

Unless you're the biggest klutz in the world the answer to this question is "no".

The statistics on those warranties is that you'll spend way more money on them than you'll ever save by having them.

There's a reason the salespeople at stores always push those plans on you - it's pretty much free money for them.
