I doubt you'll find that. Nearly all cameras preface the filename numbers by
their own unique camera maker's string. Which I find important when I have
dozens of folders taken from many different cameras and I want to more easily
keep track of which batch was taken by which camera. Or when using editing
utilities that depend on which camera model they have to deal with, which don't
rely on EXIF data. Some unique programs use that camera prefix when sorting
which camera-specific operations to perform.
But what you will find on nearly all cameras is the choice of which folder you
want to save your photos in before you take them. Changing to a different folder
with each photo, if you want to play that often with menus while shooting. This
will give you the same results. Then you can rename them by whatever folder they
were in as you move them to other media. Get RenameMaster from
http://www.joejoesoft.com/vcms/108/ and it'll let you rename each folder's
contents to anything you want or even by using the EXIF info in each photo.
