I just paid S$49.50 in cash payment (discount promo) for my Premium insurance (within ASEAN: 1 - 6 days worth S$55) from Travel Guard (Chartis) - approved and supported by the National Association of Travel Agents Singapore (NATAS)... if pay by any credit cards then it will be S$33 (also discount promo)... at MISA Travel agency in Hong Lim Complex @ http://www.airfares.com.sg/travel_insurance/insurance_index.htm
Hopefully they will cover my gears - 1 DSLR and 2 Pro-DSLRs..

The reason why i nvr bought travel insurance to cover my camera is because after talking with the agents of 2-3 companies, all of them tell me that the max 500/1000 per item/set of items will consider the cam + lens + flash etc as one set of item. so your entire set of dslr n lens, if lost, you can only claim back 500/1000.
The agents tell me they don't consider the body, lens, flash, etc as separate items even if you have separate receipts....
talk to the agent no use.. talk to the claims officer. most agents know nuts abt their own programs. esp those lower commissions ones.
1 lens and 1 body is a set. 3 lens and 1 body isnt.
it's how a claim is being filed.
I got an insurance policy before from Tenet. The premium is 10-20% of the sum insured. So for a $2000 coverage the premium is $200 - $300. You must have original receipt in order to apply for the insurance coverage. Coverage is for entire year.
This insurance paid for my stolen 1D2 when I was in Thailand. Thank God I have that Insurance. Paid about $800 for the policy which last for a year.

wow, i'm very interested on this policy. How's your claim on your stolen 1D2? Will it be very complicated/ time consuming?

Once my policy was processed, I got a SMS from Liberty informing me my policy no., destination of travel and SOS hotline telephone number for any emergency. I dont have to carry any policy document with me. That is very useful, when you required last minute travel insurance.

Take note of insurance products offered over the banks. Sone really cheap premiums or really wonderfully high covers yet not practical. I
Chartis is previously known as AIG. Have bad experience in claims before.
