Subject: [Leica] New Coke

Does it occur to anyone else that this whole MP camera is really about the
lesson from "New Coke"?  That advertising in itself can create demand
through whipping up emotional desire?  And that through a newly reintroduced
old product with a new name can get free advertising which created that
demand.  Nicely thought out marketing campaign.

The M6 is not discontinued, it is only "New Coked".
