If you have a system that takes nice photos, and fits well in your hand - why try everything (or even anything) else? Besides, only Leica seem to be supplying him with free stuff and prototypes - a powerful incentive to stay with them! Nothing new here, all brands have their online "ambassadors" blasting away...
