If Canon have got it wrong let me know how........


I am unsure how I got results this good but the following 72 photos display the test I have done with my Canon gear today in my back yard. I think the results show the absolute potential of this gear and I think the gear I\'ve got is absolutely insane based on these results.

What puzzled me is what I must be doing wrong as I never get results that are as sharp as this ever. In fact what sparked me to do the test was that I thought my 40D or my 70-200 needed calibrating because the results weren\'t what I thought they should be.

Anyways, if you have any ideas how I can get results like this I\'d love to hear from you. Please use the following pictures as a simple resolution test.

All images were processed exactly the same. Exposure was compensated for on all shots and all of the final exposures were an equivalent to 6400 2.8, 3200 4.0, 1600 5.6 , 800 8.0 , 400 11.0
All images shot in RAW and then converted to TIFFs using DPP with a sharpness setting of \'3\'. For uploading the photos were then converted to JPEGs using a final sharpness setting of \'100\' in the RGB tool box.
For each focal length the images taken were at wide open, -1 stop, -2 stops. I have taken them on both cameras and all images were downrezzed(only with 40D) to 8.2MP (3504x2336).

All comments welcome, how do you think the gear is performing especially the 70-200 2.8 / 40D combo.

All images were processed exactly the same. Exposure was compensated for on all shots and all of the final exposures were an equivalent to 6400 2.8, 3200 4.0, 1600 5.6 , 800 8.0 , 400 11.0
All images shot in RAW and then converted to TIFFs using DPP with a sharpness setting of \'3\'. For uploading the photos were then converted to JPEGs using a final sharpness setting of \'100\' in the RGB tool box.
For each focal length the images taken were at wide open, -1 stop, -2 stops. I have taken them on both cameras and all images were downrezzed(only with 40D) to 8.2MP (3504x2336).

All comments welcome, how do you think the gear is performing especially the 70-200 2.8 / 40D combo.

If Canon have got it wrong let me know how........


I am unsure how I got results this good but the following 72 photos display the test I have done with my Canon gear today in my back yard. I think the results show the absolute potential of this gear and I think the gear I\'ve got is absolutely insane based on these results.

What puzzled me is what I must be doing wrong as I never get results that are as sharp as this ever. In fact what sparked me to do the test was that I thought my 40D or my 70-200 needed calibrating because the results weren\'t what I thought they should be.

Anyways, if you have any ideas how I can get results like this I\'d love to hear from you. Please use the following pictures as a simple resolution test.
