I see atleast a 70-200 F4 (IS?) L and total of 3 bodies, flash and other lenses. Lets guess what equipment was there!

That is a lot of expensive equipment to lose! Hope it does not happen to me.

ah i feel bad for him! :(
recently a pro-photgrapher had told me how his friend threw his 5DMII into the water when he tried to get hold of his daughter he thought was about to fall off the boat!

I wonder if the insurance on camera gear covers such incidents.

A pro body and lens combo would possibly survive that splash, I think...

I was also thinking to take insurance if possible; so, can anyone please let me know whether it is possible in India and where to go for camera and equipment insurance?
