Now a motorbike on the other hand or a car.. would work well if it was a write off in 14 months without user fault..

Warranties are "peace of mind", and usually not worth the paper they are written on.
The Sale of Goods act however IS law, and IS enforceable.
As long as there is no external damage to indicate its been dropped etc I cannot see why there would be an issue.
And if there is, well contact your home contents insurer (if you are covered) and report it under the accidental damage section (if you have it) and pay the excess and get a new camera....
