The viewfinder on the R8 is better and I massively prefer an auto diagpram. The Fuji will take over R duty when the DMR dies, or when travelling light and a long lens may be needed. The only shortcoming of the DMR for me is the crop with WA lenses, otherwise no complaints (apart from the weight...)
