Whatever you eventually get, I suggest an extended warranty. I bought my first Nikon CP4500 (US version) from B & H Photo 2.5 yrs. ago for $400+ w/a 5 yr. Mack warranty ($49). Sent it in for a problem last December. They sent it to Nikon for repair. Cost me $9+ for s/h. Bought my second CP4500 (International version) from B & H last month for $300+, also w/a 5 yr. Mack warranty ($59) - Nikon won't repair the International models unless sent to them by a warranty station like Mack cameras.
.
More on ext'd warranties: if you buy it using a VISA card, you can also buy VISA's ext'd warranty for cheap. I wasn't aware of this when I bought that first Nikon. VISA won't do a warranty on an International item.

Good luck.
