It could be due to the resolution that the laptop is trying to use on the TV. Try running the TV as the only screen with a forced 1920x1080 (assuming your TV is full HD).

Re reading my post, it sounds a bit too negative. For a compact, it's just as good/ better than any others I have used. Great zoom range, nice to hold and quick to respond. I am just being fussy TBH, which is easy when it's not your own camera.

I will when my PC dies/ can't do everything I need it to. Sadly, that isn't likely in the next 2-3 years!

Work has the TZ20 and I have used it a couple of times for both video and stills. I wasn't blown away with the picture quality as there are visible jpg artefacts in most shots and noise handling at higher ISO is not great. I've only had to use it indoors so not an optimal environment. They...

If I was going to go for a 27" it would need to be high res (2560x) and an IPS panel, which puts them firmly into the territory of buying an iMac instead of just the screen. I've got dual 24" (1920x1200) and the second screen stays off most of the time. I've only got the second one as I needed...

+1 on carrying on! It's great so far.

Thanks all! Much appreciated. :)

Love the colours in you shots.

Looks lovely!

I installed Win8 on VMWare but it doesn't recognise react to my touch screen properly which makes it a pretty crappy experience. I can't help but think that the who environment would be better off like the Media Centre in Windows 7, in that it is hidden away until you start it, rather than...

The supplier did, yep. No questions asked.

I've had three where the corners have slowly disintegrated. It's a common problem apparently.

Except for when they crack and fall to bits.

Put your thumbs in the middle and pull them in opposite directions for the split keypad too.. just in case you weren't aware.

I don't think that as many MkII owners will jump to a MkIII as they did from the classic to the 5DII. The price difference is just too much. The 5D body used to be aimed at the pro, but could be justified by a hobbiest. Most people who won't earn on their shots would struggle to justify 3K on...

Does look nice. Even with a friendly discount this is too much. :( Makes the D800 more tempting though....

Amazing skills there!!!

I got a new tablet laptop from work a couple of weeks ago so am quite curious to know how usable this is with it. Win 7 on a touch screen is no different than RDP on the iPad, but with less click accuracy and gestures. I'll see if I can find a spare 2.5" HDD to play with this week.

Like that!

I was ready to be dismissive because 41mp on a sensor the size of a pea should result in terrible quality, but it doesn't look that way. Odd that no camera manufacturers are using this tech TBH. I'll wait for some real world samples.

Draw Something. Silly addictive.

That's one way to remove an engine!

I am a new Thinktank convert. I needed a new shoulder bag as my Domke was too small for the camera with the 70-200 mounted, so I picked up a Thinktank Retrospective 30. They have various sizes, and the 30 is one of the larger ones, but their quality is superb. They have even thought about being...

I just spotted that the photos only have to be taken in Feb. By the time this comp was published, all our snow and ice had melted, but I did grab a snap that I liked just prior but still in February. Entry: Sassenheim in Snow by .monk3y, on Flickr

Re: iPad 2 won't play videos(YouTube) I've had the same with the embedded ones on here, but no problems with the YouTube app. Turn it off and on again?

LOL.. WTF?!?!?

Lightroom is definitely one of the best applications for Windows. Download the free trial from the Adobe website and give it a go to see if you like it first. Lightroom3 is in the sale in most places at the minute too as LR4 is due soon. If you are interested in doing Video work, it might be...

Nice updates in the last couple of pages!

I don't know if the xxxD range has changed, but I never needed a 2nd battery when I had my 350D and have done entire days shooting with 5-600+ photos with my 5DII and there was still plenty of power left. Unless you won't be near a power socket for days, or need to film/ use live view for an...

Cracking piece of glass! Look forward to seeing the results.
