I maintain the lens serial number site, and make the assumption that the announcement (in most cases) more or less coincides with the start of production - Nikon usually builds up stocks for a month or two before they are available. You'll be able to get the start date for most Nikon DSLRs and their specs too. Thanks!Ĭheck, they have a history of new announcements from Nikon (among others) going back several years. Īs I said, there appears to be no official source for this info (but please do correct me if I'm wrong), so please take part in the thread if you have anything at all to share. (Personally, I would love to hear from any FA owners who could help me find out what year a 5304XXX serial number belongs to :biggrin. If we are lucky enough to get lots of posts, then it should be easy for forum members to simply put the model that they are interested in into the 'Search' function and bring up any entries for it that way :smile. This thread is open to any Nikon SLRs (and RFs too, I guess). Still, if we can at least get some posts from those who do have a fairly good idea of the year that their camera hails from, then we could all benefit from that knowledge :smile. Obviously, if (like me :redface you own Nikon SLRs but don't know the year of manufacture, there's not much point in posting just the serial number here. So, I would like to ask for volunteers who know the year of manufacture (or purchase, if bought new) of their Nikon SLRs to post details of their Nikon SLR serial numbers (or at least the first 3 or 4 digits :wink, so that the rest of us can get an idea when our cameras were built.
Lenses, no problem - bodies, forget it :frown:! OK, this is a long shot, but I have tried really hard (without success) to find an online source for dating Nikon camera bodies.
