p.1 #1 · Canon Mark IIn Date Code


I've done a search on FM for info on how to tell the mfg date on a camera I am buying and could not find anything.

All the searching on Google and all I could find appears to be old info - the camera I am buying has serial number: 430XXX.

Model plate shows DS126111.

Would someone here mind telling me how to determine the mfg date?

Thanks!

Does a mfg date really matter? The N's never had any major issues or recall's. If it is a good deal, then buy it. I have two N's, which I bought almost 6 months apart, and coast to coast opposite of each other. They have a 52 digit difference in serial numbers. Both are from the 407xxx batch. Kind of ironic, but otherwise, they are bodies, and I use them to capture images. I don't treat my bodies nor lenses, like they are priceless pieces of art. They are made to get used, so I use them.

Don't sweat the mfg date, if you can even find out when they were made. Plus, don't worry about shutter counts. The lower the shutter count, they more you will pay. Worst case scenario, is you will eventually buy a new shutter for about $300. Then your body will last another few years.

Thanks, Rockies Photos:

My main interest was if there might be any warranty left on it.

For all I know, warranties may not be transferrable.

Look inside the battery compartment.

Canon USA warranties are not transferable.
