You have therefore identified a bug :) I didn't think through carefully 
enough the variety of camera names. There are two ways to deal with this 
problem. One is the remapping idea, which is unfortunately not trivial 
to code. The other is to make the algorithm more clever, in much the 
same way I look out for the occurrence of "Mark" in model names.   For 
now, I'm very much inclined to do the latter. What are some other 
examples of model names that have no numbers?

I have made a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rapid/+bug/479424

Thanks
Damon
