You live in a dream world. 

I attend a lot of events that are covered by either the press or hired 
photographers, or both. I am writing this from a conference room at the OECD 
HQ in Paris. Guess what the photographers here are using to document the 
conference I am attending. Hint: it is not Leica.

I see the same picture (pun intended) at EVERY event I attend.
