There's another reason, which goes back to the early days of Japanese consumer products being exported.
It's simple, they make up a model name which looks like a code but if you say it in English it sounds like a word. The word is usually sales orientated, so attaches meaning in a relevant or attractive way.
So this EV is called the Breezy Sea - BZ3.
My camera is made by Fujifilm and it's called the X-E1 - Sexy One.
This Sounds so stupid, it may BE the truth.. thanks for the insight
BZ = breezy
X = sex
BZ3X = breezy sex
Breezy three sex
