I could have save a couple of hundred quid buying grey but decided to buy from LCE part exchanged my d7200 and they actually gave me more than I initially paid for it ,so result there ... Good luck with the change Jeff. I am sure you will get it singing just as sweetly as your other cameras....and in a lighter package. More importantly, it will hopefully take some of the angst and effort out of it all for you. Look forward to hearing your full appraisal in due course. But take it easy, that's the main thing.

Eric wrote:Oh, I have always followed your reasoning Jonathan and acknowledge the principal of 'the best tool for the job'. Yes I agree but I am very careful with my purchase of equipment and my purchase criteria are very tight around design layout, battery use and other factors. Small things such as 10 pin interface versus usb-like interface are big things to me as the usb-like connector is less than ideal. For this and other reasons I have never considered the Df or D4, D5 and instead got the D850 and Z7 even though they have too many pixels. The D800 is IMHO a better camera than the D5 but that is for my use. I think it also provides a better balance of pixel count. The D810 is technically better but there are more improvements in handling in the D850.
I think that may be an impractical ideal but I very much agree with it as a concept. Unless you can replicate all the functionality advantage of a FX in a DX body and all the advantages of a mirrorless in a DSLR and vice versa. Adeptness and other skills can provide most of this but there are always compromises. I have recently found this with some of my recent shoots and am glad that I have the Z7 and the D850.
The third point is very important and I find this is also a key driver for me. I find it difficult to self start unless I make a project for myself but I can be distracted by other things! Maybe we all need to discuss this in more detail in a separate thread as we all seem to suffer from this in differing amounts.

I see this problem (#3) as a problem that manifests itself when we get distracted from our photography and cannot find a method of overcoming these distractions. I dont know what causes it but I think it comes from a conflict of priorities, I dont know but it is just a guess! We can use the Photography Projects forum for that.  Setting up new fora is easy compared to the spaghetti unravelling that Chris has been doing.

It might be interesting to start a thread on motivation? I just can't find the motivation, it got up and went, along with my get up and go  Since I went to Scotland in May, I have turned off photography completely. Although I have been very busy with my new shed, I would normally have been on a few sorties, OK I went out and took a few Pix of the stars last week, I guess that's a start. This year has been an extreme roller coaster for me with massive ups and downs, I think that has taken it's toll. I am currently doing battle with some new, on trial website creation software... I need my head examining.

Freeway 7. I used it in the early 2000's built several websites with it back then I think I ended at Freeway3. It's Mac only, described now as an html generator., I think you can get at the code but it's largely shielded from view. I want to use it as a front end to access multiple Lightroom Web Albums. Once up and running I can then add albums as required, or add to existing albums by generating new versions and replacing previous versions with an ftp uploader like fetch. I also hope to be able to finally publish the book on the same platform, or alongside it.

There is a months free trial so I trying it out, I have no doubt it will do the job... It's more a matter of whether I can get the hang of it sufficiently to get it to do what I want. One of it's main claims is that it's intuitive, perhaps I am lacking something but I can't use it at all without constant reference to the tutorial videos. If it ever 'clicks' I will have fun, otherwise I may look for another software. Dreamweaver used to be the one but since Adobe got it the price has become unreachable. I really ought to start a new thread, rather than hogging Chris's mirrorless discussion.
