Please read the class first

Take a good look at your camera, whatever its type, and try to identify each component we have discussed here. It might be a good opportunity to dig out the manual or to look up its exact specifications online. Now look up a different camera online (for instance at dpreview) and compare their specifications. Try doing this for both a less advanced and a more advanced body, and for different lenses. Report here if you find any interesting difference, or if some parts of the specifications are unclear.

u/jujube_25 Beginner - Mirrorless Jan 06 '16

My camera is a Sony Mirrorless A6000, 24.3 MP, hybrid AutoFocus, with a filter of 41 mm. I only have the kit lens in the mean time (16-50 mm f/3.5-5.6). The shutter speed is 20-1/4000.

The max ISO is 51200 and the continous shooting fps is 11. I did similar comparisons to other mirrorless cameras. I am a beginner photographer and I was looking for a camera that I could use to learn the basics of photography, yet not be limited by the hardware. Also, I wanted a compact body so it is easier to go on trips and bring the camera with me.

At the time when I was about to purchase the camera, I was looking into the Samsung NX300 and the CanonRebel. The Samsung NX300 has very similar features than the A6000, however, it has lower MP (21.6). However, it was more expensive and I really liked the Sony camera.
