If you are looking to learn where your camera was manufactured, or to determine if it is a vintage camera, the serial number is a valuable tool. Cameras are typically serialized in the order they were made, so finding your camera’s serial number can be a helpful first step.
Some camera companies, such as Canon, include the serial number on the camera body or the lens. If your camera doesn’t have a serial number, or if the number is missing, you can usually find it by consulting the camera’s manual or by searching online. Many camera stores also keep a record of their customers’ serial numbers, so you can easily find your camera if you need to.
