Losing a camera sucks, especially if you don?t have a hidden GPS locator tucked in it. Fortunately, if you have your camera?s serial number, you can track it down online.
GadgetTrack offers all types of gadget recovery services, but the best part about this new tool is that even if your camera is already stolen, you have a chance of finding it.
The service has already tracked down one�photographer?s�stolen gear, which�totaled�over $9,00o. If you know your camera?s serial number.
In the case of John Heller, who had his camera stolen while shooting for Getty Images in Hollywood, the GadgetTrack Camera Serial Search was able to track down a user who had posted pictures take with his camera.

GadgetTrack?s Camera Serial Search is has pictures from 500px and Flickr, and the company is working to incorporate images from other services. The tool can find many camera models from manufacturers like Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Kodak, Pentax, Sigma and others.
If you don?t have your camera?s serial number handy, you can use one of your existing pictures to find it out. Just upload it to the Jeffrey?s Exif viewer and scroll down, or Ctrl-F, to find the serial number.
