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.

Sorry, u missed my point.Being the SAME name for the same camera,
regardless where its sold.

Has Nth.America a problem is saying "S5700" so they made it shorter to
"S700"?

But then again, i remember my first SLR/35mm was a Minolta 700, called
a "Dynax'? or similar in N/America
