[Leica] Digital M

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

Nope, not at all. Of course as I've argued here repeatedly, discrete is
as the photographer does. These images were all shot with the Olympus
E-1 on the street - not as big as an EOS, but hardly a 'little' camera.
I love the M, but the issue in discrete photography is how the
photographer behaves, not what camera's used.

For one thing, the EOS isn't exactly a pocket sized camera, for those
wishing discression.
