Alan, different people buy different systems for different reasons and different types of photography, whether they are "prof" or not. You cannot just reduce the R8's use to the hobbyist photography, it is rather a question of what your main photographic subjects are. If it is fast moving action you want, there is little doubt you should get Nikon or Canon AF, if you're into travel/landscape photography, you are better off with Leica R IMHO. Greetings, Pascal
