Used 5D3
mw:
I am looking to purchase a used 5D Mark III. I am trying to avoid picking up one that has an issue with light leak. How can I tell from the serial number of the camera that this is a new batch and does not have that problem?
neuroanatomist:
Google 'Canon product advisories' and that should lead you to the page that shows the serial number range for affected units.
mw:
Thank you.
Ant_Pap_Cy:
the 6th digit on the serial should be 3 or larger. If it says 1 or 2 then you got a camera with the light leak issue !

If you buy the body just ask the seller or the online shop what digit it says at the 6th place as Ant_Pap_Cy said.
I did the same!
