Open Letter to Camera Manufacturers

Dear Camera Maker,

Due to the overwhelming number of cameras with the letter "D" in the name (used to signify Digital, but since everything is digital these days, it just stands for Duh), you have seen fit to replace it with the letter X (see list below) in the name; some have both "D" and "X" and now we are all really confused. There are many other letters in the alphabet to consider. "Q" is perfectly good for instance, so is "Y", while "U" and "K" are severely underrepresented.

  • GX1
  • G1X
  • X1
  • D4X
  • 1DX
  • NEX
  • X-Pro1
  • XS1
Leica has owned "M" forever, and Canon has long used "A" for their low end P&S cameras, and although Contax is grandfathered in for the "T", they've been terminated by Kyocera.  Anyway that still leaves at least 20 other letters, so please start using them. All I'm asking for is a little variety in the naming convention.

Warm Regards,

Konstantin Golovchinsky
