Can be, but a fleeting image may be one walked past that may not be seen again, whether a landscape, or architecture, or still life. The advantage of the Leica M is that it is small and can capture outstanding images in places and time that one wouldn't be carrying a larger format camera. You want the ultimate in resolution at any time, break your back carrying a sheet film camera everywhere.
