No snittiness intended. Perhaps just silliness.
A Simple rhetorical question intended to
elucidate personal opinion rather than objective definition.

Yet it was pleasing to see the dictionary reference
a 'small hand-held camera' vs what a 'large tripod mounted one'?
So all Leica M photos could be snapshots...unless you use a tripod.
