I believe it's all relative to what you can afford and are willing to spend. I didn't buy a professional model. I bought a Nikon D40X which I'm very happy with. I've used many P&S's and felt it was time to move up considering I had started in the photography hobby many years ago. All in all, I probably have around $1500 invested in it so far and am still going. Later on, if I'm still going strong, I'll probably upgrade.
Not quite understanding why the question though. Why else do people get into hobbies? (that is, those of us that take pictures for a hobby and not work). It's something to do in our spare time and is enjoyable. You could spend years psychoanalyzing why people spend money and time on hobbies, but when it comes down to it, it's just human nature.
Btw, I also use my wife for the artistic side of her view. :blushing:
