First real test of cam: File: Large Jpeg "L" file original file. "P" mode shooting at 3 or 4fps I believe. (4 - 500'th of a second shutter)
I still lack the extra battery grip, to push the fps to 6.5 Raw/sRAW speeds. But is has been ordered!!
At nine month, now, already a speed machine!!! He's 89 lbs!!! I've got muscle pain from being dragged all over
the place by this very strong youngster!
But OH MY what a immense speed this animal has!
Dobes aren't usually so fast sprinters, but this one is, he surely is!!
(0 - 30+ mph ... 3 seconds? Looks like it!)
I tried several 4 - 6.5 fps runs on this dog. And it is NOT fast enough!!! He manages to move so fast that I guess one must have like 15 fps to see what he does sometimes!!! Zoom! I had no idea how fast a dobe can move!!! No wonder they are called "cat killers..."
Now, don't worry, This boy has grown up with cat's and won't hurt 'em, so..
I might as well talk a little bit about how this boy is being trained, as it is rather smart!
The harness is so that he can pull all the time, and the angle of attack if you will, targets some special muscle groups, creating a
specialized training for his running, turning, and jumping muscle groups.
I'll add a close up of his hind legs here:
Why this muscular at 9 months? Well, it is because he must have it before 18 months or his body simply could not take the strain at a
later age. All this must happen before 18 months, after that a Dobe is "finished".
He receives muscle massage some 3 times a day and a lot of pampering. I had no Idea one HAS to do this with a dog destined to be a
Cop dog, as this is the goal with this dog.
Anyway. What a bleeding strong psyche this boy has! He does not have fear at all!
Just amazing! I wish I was like that!!
I've been ordered to start lifting weights if I'm to be allowed to handle this dog in the future (By my brother, owner + handler of King, a very special Dobe... Indeed!!!). He will be so strong that a normal person below 200 lbs simply can't stop him from moving forward. I'm gonna start training! Wow! What a fantastic dog!!!
The grayscale Black/White balance on the 40D seems to absolutely shatter even the Nikon's D300!
I've found that the colors are "real", but that they are ever so less vibrant than on a bigger Nikon cam.
You can compensate for this of course, but that is something to remember.
I think the 40D needs the VERY best lenses one can put on it, to really max out! Nikon's seem to be more responsive.. Sharper somehow
already from intermediate lenses.
I've tried looking on the pictures from my cam now on a lot of screens and computers (Imacs, Macbooks, Mac Pro's and some laptops and computers) It shows the same really... It's DEAD neutral.. provides a perfect midpoint on all aspects...
It has a little less perceived "contrast" compared to say a D80 or a D300 (What cam doesn't...)
But still!
And now for the REAL clincher for a 40D... it has 39 million shades of color!!! (14 bit) 16.7 million Red, +16.7 million Green + 16.7 million blue + 65 thousand black/White/grey shades! No other cam at 10.1 megapixel has this. So the reality of the colors are just immense!!! WYSIWYG!!!
