FS7: Sony's SupportNET Extended Warranty

[Bern Caughey]

Had my FS7 for almost a year, & wonder if it's worth purchasing Sony's SupportNET 3-Year Extended Warranty.

B&H lists the price at $900 USD, & states it must be applied within 60 days of purchasing the camera. For some reason I thought the warranty could be purchased any time during the first year of ownership, & cost about $700 USD.

Have many of the F55/5, or FS7 owners purchased SupportNET? Are there better options? Other thoughts?

Thanks!

Bern - I purchased the Sony Protection Plus plan when I bought my FS7 back in 2014 thru my dealer. I believe it was $729. And it was a 3 year extended warranty that also covered accidental damage from handling. Not exactly sure if the support net is more or less the same thing...
I haven't had to use it - so honestly can't give much feedback. But I will say I'm normally not the type of person to pay extra for extended warranties... but then I figured it was a small price to pay for something I use to make a living.
