i got my 600 from b&h as well (a friend brought it back for me from new york) and when i called the shop to be sure they had them in stock they guy told me they offer an insurance plan (i beleive it was 20-something $ for 1 year, or they have a 2-year option as well for a bit more, i forget exactly) and the insurance is international and covers all accidents (he gave me the examples of dropping it in the subway or spilling coffee on it). if you are a bit worried (and i can understand you might be) it could be a good solution for you. however, you might have to ship it back to them in case you need the insurance.

you could also check whether you can get coverage from your home insurance or through your credit card, apparently this is common.
