Hi everyone,
Brand new to the DSLR, awaiting my new camera from Beachcamera.com to arrive.
Just wondering about the 2 year extended warranty through Olympus, Is it worth getting? How about purchasing Olympus warranty through a different retailer? Are they valid warranties?

Oh, and any additional opinions about camera bags would be great.
I'm looking at the Lowepro topload zoom 1 when I'm traveling. I bought the E500 with the 2 lens kit.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
