The names are generated using px10^n, for n = {0, 1,2} and integer p. N defines product bracket ranging from professional (n=0) to consumer (n=2). Within each bracket models are numbered chronologically with increasing p. Numbers are followed by 'D' denoting 'digital' and occasionally roman numerals, denoting model revision (i.e. 'mark III'). An additional 's' denotes full-frame sensor.
Note, this convention applies only to european models. Non-european models substitute this logical system for names including stupid words like 'kiss' and 'rebel', in honour of the painted rockers and David Bowie respectively.
