I suspect it does. Look at the interest the Fuji X100 has generated. There are a lot of people out there looking for distinctive cameras. I even saw someone buy on of those new Auto 110 lookalikes a couple of weeks ago, and the buyer clearly hadn't a clue but wanted something different looking. The product lifecycle of cameras is so much shorter now than it was when film was king, it seems as though the economics have changed enough for the camera makers do even more wacky cameras now, without it being such a risk.
