iight guys i dropped my HV30 while in florida filming some longboarding and the screen cracked open so i dont know what im filming the screen is just white. when i close the screen shut, the camera doesnt switch to the eye piecee view so my cameras useless.

is there any insurances out there that cover accidental so maybe i could buy it, wait a week, then say i dropped my camera. maybe it would be less money than actually buying a totally new camera which i really dont want to do. +k for help thanks

Insurance fraud. Happens all the time. I don't think you can.

Buy your shit at Best Buy. They have a damage plan that covers that shit. Its worth it.

canon tends to be pretty good about their warenties (of course your camera is more fucked up than normal). i think a warenty is included for a year with canon, you can give them a call and see. You can also enable the eyepiece by turning the screen around to face the front of the camera. worst case u can sell it for parts on ebay.

good luck bro
