Nikon and Canon digital SLRs are used by 99% of the world's professionals.
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.
