Well, it does make sense, no? Like sony RX100 III this is another really interesting product and not simple small upgrade of previous model. So, why not expose it more, since many show their interest in?
Doubt amazon cares much which cameras sell better as long as something sells. Can’t really think of this as advertising.
p.s.
But i’m sure i won’t buy this, i want it, but i don’t need.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
