Camera gear is expensive and no matter how careful photographers are, accidents sometimes happen. Canon’s CarePAK Plus accidental damage protection program is designed to take away the worry and stress by offering security from accidental damage (such as drops and water); priority service; and free returns with service and support from Canon.

There is no deductible and CarePAK Plus is transferable; there is also a "no lemon" guarantee. Canon is offering a special deal on select products purchased from now until January 9, 2016 (from an authorized dealer) where you get 13 months of complimentary CarePAK protection.

Eligible items for Canon's CarePAK Plus accidental damage protection program include these Canon camera bodies and lenses:

EOS 6D
EOS 7D Mark II
EOS 5D Mark III
EOS 5Ds
EOS 5Ds-R
EOS 1D X
EF 17–40mm f/4L USM
EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
EF 50mm f/1.2L USM
EF 16–35mm f/2.8L II USM
EF 24–70mm f/2.8L II USM
EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM
EF 70–200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
EF 100–400mm f/4.5–5.6L IS II USM

Additionally, any lens included in a kit with an eligible body will be covered. So if a customer purchases the Canon 5D Mark III and EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens kit, the lens will be covered since it is included in the box with the body (also known as a “hard bundle”). If purchased as a standalone lens purchase, it would not be covered. Similarly, if a lens which is not on the eligible list for the promotion is purchased at the same time, but is not included in the box with the body, it would also not be covered.
