I bought my Canon 7d new from Jessops 2 years ago and havent really had cause to check its serial number until this week when I've had a few issues with the camera malfunctioning. It has no serial number stamped on the underneath of the body, where the canon sticker is and the silver strip where it should be is totally blank. It hasnt rubbed off or been damaged it all looks pristine just no number. i have a serial number on the box which matches the embedded exif data within the camera using DPP and on the Jessops receipt. I'm just wondering if anyone else's camera is without a serial stamped on the body and the implications ?
