OK so new double glazed doors for the conservatory. Nothing wrong with that patio? I suggest that she paints it or regrouts it! That should keep her amused and you occupied 'supervising' from a distance.

Just need to repoint and seal it against the next 24years. Sobering thought....I will probably not be around to do it again!!!!  Unfortunately there's no escape from expenditure. The nails on our 80 year old roof are giving up the ghost ...keep losing slates. I'm getting a bit too decrepit for climbing on the roof to refit them. So a new roof is required. It's a BIG roof = mega bucks required.  May have to come out of retirement to fund it.....or sell my Nikon gear.  Not so much transition to mirrorless more like transition to cameraless.

Well done. Yes roofs and tilers are expensive. Just had part of my roof replaced and converted toa dormer to enlarge the bathroom at my old house. As soon as the job is complete I will sell that house so I will have some savings again.

Thought I'd share a random update on my side. I was in Italy the last few days with my dad, specifically in the Bologna / Modena region - touring all the supercar manufacturers. Anyhow, we ended up in Imola yesterday, turns out we lucked out and the Ferrari Challenge cup was racing - free to attend which was a nice bonus. So I had my first attempt at motorsports photos with the Z6. Now bearing in mind I only had the 24-70 on me - so totally the wrong lens I did learn some interesting things. 1. Extended high FPS mode is totally useless when trying to track objects... I thought the minuscule delay would be OK - it's not. So you are limited to 5FPS or so, which is a shame. 2. I found it WAY harder to get panning images, usually I have a hitrate of 20-30% but I think it was more like 5% - I can't put my finger on why, but it was interesting to see how different this was. This being said, for the rest of the trip this was the perfect camera, low light shots looked incredible, and the small-is size and ease of use meant I've come away with a lot of amazing photos to remember this trip by.

I came to the conclusion that under normal photographic situations you have more time to consider composition and that 'thinking time' albeit milliseconds, allows the camera to work at its slightly slower than DSLR pace. That said, there are plenty of people using mirrorless successfully for motorsport, birds in flight and other fast moving subject. The difference is they have learnt or at least 'bedded themselves into' how to manage this difference by dedicated practise on that subject. We can't be expected to pick up a camera on an infrequent basis and use it on a multiplicity of different subjects without misfiring. I was probably a little impetuous and unfair ditching the Fuji. The IQ when I got it right was excellent and I understand from JK the later iterations are better. I have said to many friends that I expect to return to mirrorless in 2020. The only question is whether it will be changeover in total or whether I will retain one of my DSLRs for specialised use .....until I learn to use it in all situations. Look forward to seeing some shots.

I agree with Chris' observations and Eric's analysis of different uses and the needs for certain camera characteristics to meet these areas of use. I have for a long time asserted that if you want highest quality for every eventuality then there is a need to invest significant amounts of money to get this quality. This means that we go outside the 80/20 rule but go towards the idea of a tool for every job or the idealised search for the one perfect tool. There is no perfect camera only one that suits your current purpose.
