I’ve just begun to do some research on possible DSLRs I’m interested in buying, but I’m getting a bit confused over the names of digital cameras nowadays.

How is the average consumer going to know the difference between something like Canon EOS 1000D, Canon EOS 10D, and Canon EOS 1D?

What happened to cute human-like names such as Folding Camera Unica or Bloc Note Gaumont?

Lomography’s got it right. They have cool names for their cameras like Seagull and Diana.

Here’s some lame suggestions for digital camera names to begin discussion:
Nikon Birch, Nikon Fir
Canon Ice, Canon Fire

I just think with more human names they can market the product so much easier too. Maybe it’s just not the thing to do.
