Why? Because they're extremely reliable, have extensive lens and accessory systems, and those companies are the cutting edge technological leaders....and despite all that, they cost less than Leicas. Professional photographers of all types are hurting economically today, and that is especially true of journalists. They're poorly paid, and newspapers have been shedding staff photographers to save money. Leica has simply priced itself out of the professional market. It really is that simple. On top of that, Leica's digital cameras have had a lot of well-publicised technical and reliability problems. Pros need cameras that "Just Work", every time. Canon and Nikon cameras "Just Work". The lenses are affordable. The image quality is magnificent. Using Nikon or Canon is a no-brainer. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 11/29/12 8:41 PM, "David Ching" <davidhhching1 at yahoo.com.sg> wrote: >Come on, don't tease, tell us all.
