1. That is correct. Only Canon can tell you if the serial number is for a 'Grey Market' camera. 'Grey Market' just means that there is no Canon Warranty with that camera. There is no difference in the actual camera as it is manufactured in the same factory to the same specs. It is the same camera.
2. Jul 17, 2006  Just picked up a black paint Canon Model 7. I was wondering if anyone knew of sources for Canon rangefinder serial numbers. Cameras or lenses. Many folks 'Aftermarket painted' their camera bodies black just as a reminder. Folks would use a black body for B&W, a chrome body for chromes, ie slides. This was a typical 1960's thing to do for.

4. The serial number for your EOS camera will generally be 12 digits long, however for some older models the serial number may be 6 or 10 digits long. It can be found in the following locations which are highlighted in the images below - On the bottom of the camera printed in black, grey or white; Behind the LCD screen.

Thanks for visiting. As a camera dealer, collector and photographer, I've developed my own list of favorite cameras/lenses/accessories. These are some of them. This page is under continual construction and updating. At any one time, at least 10 new pages are under preparation. Older pages are sometimes updated, so if you like one of the profiles, re-visit it occasionally. Stephen Gandy, Los Angeles
