Where to find your serial number. The location of your serial number varies between different Canon products. The serial number is a.

Canon Date Codes Because they are chronological, serial numbers usually do tell the approximate age of a Canon SLR or SLR lens, but Canon Inc. Has never put out any sort of public information about serial numbers. However, the is another way to get the information about a camera body or lens. For cameras, look inside the body's film chamber for an alphanumeric code printed in black ink on the black surface of the film chamber. You may have to hold the camera under a strong light to see it.

What you'll see is a date code, possibly something like 'U1140F.' The first letter tells the year the camera was manufactured: in this case, 1980.

It's an alphabetic code; A = 1960, B = 1961.T = 1979, U = 1980, and so on up to Z = 1985. The next 2 numbers tell you what month the camera was made, in this example, November.

(the leading zero for the month code is sometimes omitted, so an A-1 with a code of 'Y362' would have been manufactured in March, 1984, for instance.) The following 2 numbers are an internal code that is irrelevant for determining age, but year and month is close enough anyway, IMO. (This internal code is also occasionally omitted based on reports from Canon owners.) The last letter stands for the name of the factory.

In this case, 'F' stands for Fukushima which was the main Canon SLR factory for about 20 years from the early 70s until 1991. (The factory code is rarely omitted, if ever.) So a body with the Code 'U1140F' was made in November of 1980 at the Fukushima factory. Starting in 1986, the year code was restarted with 'A' again, but the factory code was placed before it. Now that Canon SLRs are no longer manufactured at Fukushima, you're more likely to see a code starting with 'O' for Oita. So, for SLRs manufactured in 1994, you might see a code starting with 'OI' followed by the month code.

Letter Year A 1986, 1960 B 1987, 1961 C 1988, 1962 D 1989, 1963 E 1990, 1964 F 1991, 1965 G 1992, 1966 H 1993, 1967 I 1994, 1968 J 1995, 1969 K 1996, 1970 L 1997, 1971 M 1998, 1972 N 1999, 1973 O 2000, 1974 P 2001, 1975 Q 2002, 1976 R 2003, 1977 S 2004, 1978 T 2005, 1979 U 2006, 1980 V 2007, 1981 W 2008, 1982 X 2009, 1983 Y 2010, 1984 Z 2011, 1985 The same type of code is printed on the back of many (but not all) EF lenses as well, typically in small white characters on a black baffle in the rear lens mount. Normally it will read somethings like 'UT0308'. The 'U' is the factory, the 'T' is the year of manufacture (2005), the '03' is the month (March) and the final two numbers seem to be some sort of internal Canon code.

NERV wrote in Picking up a 5D Mark ii this week. Should I check serial numbers.I know for the original 5dc serial numbers starting with 0=2005, 1=2006, 2=2007, 3=2008. Is there any way to determine if the 5d2 was made in 2008, 2009 or 2010?

FWIW: I collected my 5D2 in late December 2008: They were in very short supply until spring 2009. Serial number 0330219xxx Now you'll need some more numbers to understand the pattern and make any sense of what you are offered. ______________ Torquay Devon UK 5D MkII, 300mm f/4 L IS, 135mm f/2.0 L,, 24-105 L IS, 180mm Sigma Macro, 100mm f/2.8 Macro, 15mm Fisheye, Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6, TC, Gitzo G1298 Basalt. 580EX MKII, 430EX, ST-E2. I think i may have figured out Canon's Serial numbers for the 5D mark ii The first 2 digits may represent what month of the product cycle the camera was made. For example; Sept 08 ->00 Oct 08 ->01 Nov 08 ->02 Dec 08 ->03 [This makes sense with Luke Cerns serial number] Jan 09 ->04 Feb 09 ->05 Mar 09 ->06 Apr 09 ->07 May 09 ->08 June 09 ->09 July 09 ->10 Aug 09 ->11 Sept 09 ->12 [Makes sense with mine(Nerv) and dkim3202 serial numbers] Oct 09 ->13 Nov 09 ->14 Dec 09 ->15 Jan 10 ->16 Feb 10 ->17 [makes sense with aperkins serial number] Mar 10 ->18 Apr 10 ->19 etc etc Please note that this theory could be completely incorrect Canon 5D Mark ii, Canon EF 50mm f1.2L.

Moppie wrote in I just bought one today, serial number starts with an 18, and firmware is 2.0.3 That would make it a pretty new camera, if your theory is correct NERV, it was only manufactured this month. Although, there is a shortage of them here, so that is a possibility. I could see that since you have firmware 2.0.3 installed. BTW, will you install 2.0.4?

Haven't had the courage to install it yet and I'm leaving for South Korea on monday and don't want it acting up after I upgrade. Canon EOS 5DMkII, 50 f/1.2 L, 70-200 f/2.8 L IS USM, Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 EX HSM, Manfrotto 190CXPro3 with 488RC2 Ball Head. Wife: Canon EOS 50D, EF 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS.
