Just a question - if I buy a camera from a seller on Ebay who him/herself purchased a camera from B&H in may 2016 and gives me a receipt - would I be able to use the warranty if needed? It does not have Warranty Registration Card but since I would have proof of purchase - I am thinking it should be ok....or am I wrong?

Technically Canon warranties are valid only to the original purchaser and non transferable. That said I have had used equipment repaired under warranty in the past upon presentation of the original receipt. They don't seem to mind as long as the proof of purchase is presented.

If questioned about receipt in someone else's name, simply reply "Gift from my father in law" or some other reasonable explanation.
