On the 7D, when you put in the CD, isn't one of the options to register the camera, or is that just with the image gateway?

Think there was a warranty card in with my camera a few years ago, shop I bought it from advised me to register it on line if I was going to register it, so I knew it had been done and was registered.
He said most of the time, you don't get an acknowledgement if you post it in, so you've no real way of knowing it has been done - obviously thinks have probably changed now, but I still register on line if I can.

As far as I know - and I'm happy to be corrected on this - this existence or otherwise of a card, and whether you register it or not, will make no difference to your rights as a consumer. The camera must be of `merchantable quality` and `suitable for the purpose for which it's intended`, in outline. Date of manufacture can easily be established from the serial number, which may also indicate where and when it was sold. Keeping all the receipts is sensible, as when/if you sell it on, I want to know its history if I'm going to buy it from some dodgy-looking character. 
Proof of purchase is a reasonable thing for the manufacturer or whoever to ask for before they repair it, or take it in part-exchange, or buy it. For all they know, you may have nicked it. So keep the receipt and packaging. (Half my loft is full of boxes that held shiny things).

Don't remember a warranty card with mine, as long as you have a Uk receipt you should have no problems getting it fixed - hopefully you won't need to

Legally you don't even need that, if you get a signed written statement from a witness of you buying the product then your good

As said earlier, there is no UK requirement for you to inform any manufacturer of a purchase, they only want the information for their own marketing use. They used to sell it on, but I think this practice has been clamped down ( but I could be wrong ! )

Under consumer law, you do not need a receipt. You only need a proof of purchase - so it could be an entry on a credit card statement or something on that line.
