I really do sympathise with such a dreadful daily work journey. I'm sure she has better things to do than waste three hours a day travelling.Pity my poor wife then John, as she does this journey every day on top of a day spent supervising an accounts department!
Twice a month I used to, until very recently, leave the house at 6am to get to Dollgellau by 08:15 - that was a tough day as I ended up in Barmouth before making my way home for another 2.5 hours....so I know what it feels like.

I don't see how a low resolution screen can make checking focus easier. Every EVF camera I have ever used has been impossible to focus manually. The Pentax viewfinder shows quite clearly where the point of focus is, be it at normal or macro distances.

To be fair, an hour and a half each way would be three hours, which would end up as pretty much half a day.
Posting is not as onerous as you might fear. A strong box, some bubble wrap, some tape and a label and Royal Mail Special Deilvery will get the goods to their destination the next day in the UK.

We just bought a new TV and the same lack of knowledge amongst sales staff applies.
The only answer is to do the research ourselves and if we're lucky we might find a knowledgable sales person. We won't know that though unless we've already looked into things!

Sometimes USA dealers can deliver almost as quickly as UK ones.

My Architect son Mike went to Barcelona with a group of his Architect firends and they were all very excited about Barcelona, so I guess it depends on what your interests are!
They also liked NYC.

Many thanks for all the good ideas. Over the next few days/weeks I'll be doing regular updates and modifications and will be taking on board many if not all of the things that have been mentioned.

Somebody did. It was called the Exakta.
