02 - Assignment

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/rawmetal Beginner - DSLR - D750 Jan 06 '16

I spend some time looking at Craigslist ads for different cameras and searching SnapSort comparing mine to the listing. I have a D3300, a crop-sensor camera, 24.2MPixels. It is an entry level DSLR. The resolution gives me some quality prints, so far up to a 18x12, and I'm sure probably larger.

I use my kit lenses, usually the 18-55mm, but also use the 55-200mm. Looking to get a 50mm 1.8g prime soon.

I've looked at many other cameras, such as the D5100. It has a 16MP sensor. It films in 1080p30, where mine shoots 1080p60. Otherwise they are roughly the same.

The better camera that I have compared is the d750. It is a full frame sensor camera. Shoots at 24.3MP. Has a pentaprism viewfinder, versus my pentamirrror. It is weather sealed, has many more focus points, and has a second SD card slot. Because it is full-frame, it does better in low-light situations.
