Yes drop in to us any time Grégory - either the EVF-DC1 (http://conns.ie/2oSBkL0) or the EVF-DC2 (http://conns.ie/2qdV288) are compatible with your EOS M3 if you want to add a viewfinder without changing the body completely!

Of course we can't guarantee you won't also fall in love with the EOS M5 once you played with it...

Next time we're together we just take a couple of shots with both cameras to compare, like, I can definitely see the difference to my old one but that was a couple of generations older, I'm sure it's less noticeable with yours.

re: the Viewfinder, I think you can actually buy one for yours, have you tried it? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ca...

Maybe head down to Conns Cameras, maybe they have one you can try out :) - still cheaper than changing the body

Thank you Gregory :)

Hi David, really interesting post, well written and clear critics of the
M5. Im currently using the M3 with the EM 22mm & EF 50 MM. Im
really missing a viewfinder. Do you think it worth it to switch from M3
to M5 only for the VF? Because I think the characteristics are quite the
same. It could be great to compare two same pictures with same lens and
same edits (as you compared the M with the M5 :)))) Thanks again for
the article. Well done. Gregory

Espero que sim :) é muito boa de se usar e cobre todos os problemas da antiga e não tive que vender um rim :) . Espero mesmo mesmo que não faça nenhuma estupidez com ela e que dure muito tempo :)

Obrigado João :)

Writing is part of the conversation but it requires effort from you and whoever reads to keep up - worse, to keep up with a very intermittent conversation :) , sometimes I think that's expecting too much, especially when it feels like The Now dominates everything, conversations must be had now, fast, short or through some high bandwidth medium like voice, and that's where I don't do very well :)

I do understand what you're saying and time passes - 10 years have passed surely, don't make me look for evidence of that :D - and it's hard to keep up with your volume of traveling :) but somethings, it's like it was yesterday!

I hope to be back in Setubal-land this summer, you might show me around your swanky new crib or otherwise let me pay you a silent coffee :)

Thank you Bev , it was very very nice to get your comment :)

"I don’t know what to say to people and I can’t hold a conversation for long...". But your writing IS a part of a long conversation - at least with me. If we meet for coffee - one day at Rockalot (I've sold my apartment and in process of buying one on Rory's side) - and sit in silence, I still won't be able to shake off the feeling that I've been talking with you over the last ten or so years, thanks to your brilliant online expressiveness!

@Gerben Wijnja @Sarun it's probably (hopefully) a somewhat outdated guide, I should take a second look one of these days.

thanks guys

I know, I went back and forth with that section and ended up not talking about it... In a way I didn't want to speak on her behalf because I failed to find a balance between the good and the bad from what I see in her and didn't want to paint that in the wrong light.

Weird that I would do that

Re: How life changes

Lígia Rodrigues — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:29:22 -0000

I too was making the same "mistake": ours since 3,5 wants to know how to write and I was "teaching" him to write the cursive style because that was what I was taught back in my days when I was a little older. Then we found out @Kindergarten that they are going to learn to write their name in block style so we changed @home and kid was way happier or at least not so pissed he can't write his name yet :D
But I've already seen in the 4/5 years old class (same kindergarten, different teacher) the ABC poster in cursive :-/

now now now big fail from David : not to put the wife's change in all these because it is also an intense one. :-P

Re: How life changes

David Ramalho — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 14:33:12 -0000

Same with me, but we were pushing at home to get him to catch up with the writing (still using cursive) and he was struggling a bit - heck, his former Portuguese colleagues where doing one or two letters and this guy had to know them all :) . Anyway, Sara talked to the teacher one day and she told her "nooo that's too hard for the kids, we use block letters and they only learn cursive when they're 8", we switched gears with him at home and the difference was astonishing :)

But yeah, as soon as I learned block letters I never got back to cursive, I actually tried it now when we were teaching Afonso and I sort of wish I had proper calligraphy , but it's harder and takes longer, it's not compatible with note taking and speed writing anyway :D

rcarmo — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 14:22:16 -0000

Curious. First thing I did when I got to the 10th grade was train myself to write in block style. Never looked back, really, I find cursive annoying and unreadable.

A fun fact - they used to teach block writing in the old "commercial" schools in Lisbon, as well as basic calligraphy. My dad went through that and still has the neatest writing I've ever seen.

We need a simple model to help us properly
slice the pie. It needs to be
flexible and fair. By fair I mean it needs to give each founder
what they deserve. And by flexible I
mean it needs to adapt over time to
re-allocate the startup
equity so that the distribution stays fair until the fledgling company takes flight. check
out Mike Moyer's book slicing pie it
talks about 50/50 share and how to divide it through his grunt calculator.

hummmmmm weird, can you tell if it's a particular record that's causing it?

Re: Ruby Recipe book: Import Kindle clippings to MongoDB

David Ramalho — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 05:24:50 -0000

I'm sure we can try to access some public databases, from trying to augment information via Calibre I can tell it's not a clean cut thing, some manual selection has to be done. Having said that, perhaps tying in to calibre itself (the local database) would work nicely - if you use calibre to manage the books of course
