If all you're doing is uploading jpegs which are a few hundred pixies across then its not really worth it to spend a lot of money on good camera bodies with larger sensors and glass. You can use a point and shoot with a smaller sensor than 1.5 or 2x crop. If you are somehow making it so people can download large files from your work then its up a notch. And Printing brings out the worst and best about your gear. So if you have a print portfolio, you hang shows or otherwise you print a lot its worth it to be very selective about your gear. And I doubt there's going to be a better way to go then with a Leica M no number afterward and farily current Leica glass. Leica S though is going to be a big notch up from that. Would love to see direct comparisons between the same subject matter shot with both systems. S and M. ( get it!?) And Leica M against canon and Nikon DSLR'S that everyone else is shooting. I cant wait to see my first Leica M movie. Shot with Summicrons. Reminds me of the taste of wild hickory nuts....
