Hello
Sorry if this off-topic
Can a digital camera be considered computer equipment?
Having accidentally and a irreparably damaged my digital camera, a
Epsom PhotoPC 850Z (bought Sept 2001 second hand for £300 via ebay),
I contacted my insurers, SAGA home insurance.
Their booklet/guide to claims, on page 14, says:
"We cover the following: TV, video, audio and computer equipment.
Accidental damage to television, radio, audio, video, satellite and
personal computer equipment in your home."
They do not accept my assertion that my former digital camera is/was
'computer equipment' :-(
I pointed out to them that in order to see any of the pictures I have
taken with the camera I have to download the pictures directly from
the digital camera via a USB cable and into computer memory.
If a digital camera is not seen as computer equipment then I foresee
similar problems with other hardware, eg if I should make a claim for
my scanner, or my printer, or other accessories such as the new USB
flash drives. I have been unable to find a definition for digital
camera.
Can anyone throw any light on this? Or perhaps signpost someone who
can.
It's worth noting that the SAGA manager I spoke with did not have a
digital camera :-(
Many thanks for your help
