Default Confusing camera product names and series
On 6 May 2007 16:29:47 -0700, yeapped:

Dont forget Fujifilm, and its weird reason? to call S700 a S5700 in
different regions

WHY?

In order to avoid calling it an S5300. The next camera in this
line may be named S800 and S5800. I assume that you're familiar
with the naming convention used for earlier cameras in this line and
the greater confusion that those names may have caused.
