Tech Lunch ep002 - mirrorless, cableless & headphoneless

This week the boys have found a quieter location in Soho, London to have their lunch... but it's not without surprises in the form of a Mr Ben style magically appearing waitress and a secret door right next to their table!

Denis-Jose confesses to his headphone habit. Losing them, breaking them... but which one should he choose next? Does Markel have the answer, in the form of a cheap pair of noise cancellation headphones?

Richard takes us through a breakdown of his office and it's nightmare cabling. 3 monitors, 2 printers and more, are all part of a photograhers den it would seem.

 The boys discuss the difference between high end and low end calibration - who needs it? and old fashioned CRTs vs new Flatscreens. Have we sacrificed deskspace for quality?

All this and a quick look at the new Nikon Mirrorless camera range... and a whole lot of food!
