Depends on the focal length. It's not depth of field that is the SLR 
advantage, but the precision of composition. Some photographers require 
such precision to control keystone effects,and near-far relationships. 
Something the "Leica M" style isn't attuned to.

Always be on the lookout for conspicuousness (or, It's hard to tell if 
someone is inconspicuous).
