I would be concerned about who is backing this warranty What happens if one
year and 11 months from now the camera breaks a cheap plastic part and there
are no replacement parts for that camera? If a camera is deemed unrepairable
or beyond economic repair by the warranty folks, does it just get 86-ed and
you are out the money, or is there a replacement option?

Olympus offering a 2-year extended warranty on the E-M5 for $99.
Wondering if it's worth it. With Apple products, I have zero problem
buying AppleCare since they've always bent over backwards to make sure
I was happy if I had an issue. Don't think Olympus will do the same...
Anyone here go for that option?>
Without knowing the details of the option which you received (and I do
not remember receiving) I would think hard about the the situation if
you did not have the warranty and the camera needed repair due,
apparently, to a manufacturing defect rather than misuse.
The camera is not cheap in the UK and I would hope Consumer Law would
require it to last for at least two years before breaking down in
non-professional use. I might prove wrong but that would be my choice
ie to go back to the supplier for redress or repair.
