... and so is black.  What drivel

Smaller is better, bigger is better, this camera garners
"respect ..."  WTF is that?
Go over to the Leica list and you'll find a lot of pros
using M cameras for certain types of PJ work, or documentary
work, and even in corporate boardrooms.  These same pros
will use Canon digis for some work or the leica R bodies ...
and y'know what, none of these pros pull a "Rodney
Dangerfied" I don't get no respect because of my camera.

These pros are hired for results, and choose the gear they
use based on numerous factors.

Now if some schmuck in a Tuxedo on his wedding day things a
bigger camera is better, maybe he also thinks a bigger penis
is better for the honeymoon.  Perhaps his wife will
"straighten" him out on that point.

True, there are perceptions of what a "pro" camera is
supposed to be, but the savvy clients know that the only
thing that counts are results, not the size of the lens or
the number of frames per second that can be blasted off, or
how big and how black that thing is hanging around your
neck.

Maybe it's not just the clients that need reassurance, but
perhaps the photogs need it as well.
