P.1 #9 p.1 #9 No serial number on 5D Mk2.what? I have seen this happen on my 40D and Canon acknowledged that it was an issue with the ink they used. There was no problem with them servicing the camera. There were some discussions about problems related to serial number when the 5D Mark II came out last year, e. Install Linux On Hp Stream 7 Tablet more. g. I found this on a website: Canon 5D Mark II SN#03201xxxxx seems to show the ‘Black Dot’ problem.

Usually what you want to know is. Did the camera come with the North America (US & Canada) warranty card in the box with the serial number pre-printed on that card which matches the serial number of the body. This tells you if it has a US/Canada warranty and would be serviceable at service centers here. 'Import' versions usually aren't covered by the US/Canada warranty. Some stores will 'import' cameras via their own channels and sell them at a slight savings.

The reputable stores will disclose whether it's the 'USA' versions vs. The 'Import' version. TCampbell wrote: Usually what you want to know is.

I can practically swear that I've never filled one out and sent it in. But the one time I needed warranty work, my camera was accepted without question. So they must be keeping track of the serial numbers somewhere. Also, when you join CPS or upgrade to a higher level, you have to supply the serial numbers of qualifying items.

None of my serial numbers have ever been questioned, so again this shows they're keeping track. RobertTheFat wrote: I've bought a lot of Canon gear, and I can't recall ever seeing such a card. I can practically swear that I've never filled one out and sent it in.

You had the warranty card. I always register my gear online rather than mailing in the card. I still have my cards for all of my cameras.

The card says 'CANON LIMITED WARRANTY' and is sub-titled 'CANON U.S.A., INC. CANON CANADA INC.' The model & body number will be pre-printed on the card, but everything else is blank. That warranty card is the only way I know of for a consumer to know if they own a US & Canada version importanted and backed by Canon USA, rather than an international version imported by someone else as a gray-market camera and not backed by the Canon USA warranty & service. Without that card. You'd probably have to phone Canon to ask.
