I am not wrong.
The camera (M7) is still listed at the Leica online-shop, thus there still is an inventory.
If a manufacturer still offers a model, one hardly can call that model discontinued.
This thread is best proof of that.
When does inventory of a discontinued product become new old stock?You better keep to your stories. And "New Old Stock" means something different than a inventory of a product which manufacture just has been cancelled. Not even in context of this Canon model anyone used this term.
And that would be when exactly? 1 year? 3 years? 5 years? Who decides?As the term says, when it's old ...

So pretty subjective. I think film cameras are like turntables and vacuum tubes, both of which are analog, and are currently being made today, though old technology. Here is what the Wikipedia article you referred me to says about vacuum tubes:Do you really want to have explained the term "old" ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_old_stock
The term discontinued has been used in various ways by manufacturers. And Ratty indicated by linking to that article that the camera is "out of stock".
Whilst it still is offered by Leica themselves.
And this fact has been hinted at not only by me but at least one magazine too.
This very thread is interesting in this context as it shows how long inventory for a high end camera may last.
I guess a production run for that EOS was larger than for that Leica M7, but I can't say for sure.
No new M7's are ever going to be built. It's discontinued. Get it?
Fujifilm is still selling Acros. No new Acros will ever be coated. It's discontinued. Get it?
I didn't notice that his location is Germany, so maybe there is a language impediment or a cultural difference about what NOS means.The moment its discontinued. AgX is seriously confused by English here.

Where ever did I say that either is still produced ?
There sad enough is a tradition here at Apug to rely on and spread heresay. Instead of reading correctly or checking sources.
I am German but I nevertheless can read.
And that english Wikipedia article, as others, explicitely says at the start "[stock] which was manufactured long ago".
(There is no german equivalent to "NOS", but of course are various dictionary translations, all confirming my stand.)
