Seems like a neat idea for a search engine, but I tried with photos from 6 different cameras and none of them stored the serial number in exif. I wonder how many models this is actually useful for.


There seems to be a fair number of models that are supported:

I tried a photo taken with a Fujifilm Z37 which is on the supported list. However, the photo didn't display a serial number on the EXIF data. I'm pretty sure I've never seen an option in a camera to not write just the serial number. Perhaps the list isn't 100% correct?


Interesting that the Canon DSLR do support it, but none of the standard P&S.


Thanks, I completely missed that list. I'm going to try and find a friend with one of those so I can play around with this a bit.


That list should probably be linked to from the front page, instead of hidden 4 pages deep.
