<snip>if you do have an inadvertent accident due to being overly cautious
we'll still give you
our sympathy.   But be prepared for a few solid tongue lashes for being too
protective. ;-)

I don't think I'm being over protective - having worked and saved hard to
buy something that I've always wanted gives me the right to try and keep it
in good condition.  Furthermore I want to make sure that I keep possession
of the thing, rather than let some lowlife relieve me of it.

I have always subscribed to the notion that cameras are tools and get
treated as such.  If it gets a few knocks and so on in normal use or the
black finish gets rubbed off, then that's fine.   But it has always been
instilled in me to look after tools, be they cameras, chisels or whatever.
They last longer that way and don't let you down at an inopportune moment.
