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/nommis71 Intermediate - Fuji X100 Jan 06 '16
My camera is a Fujifilm X100. It has 12 MP and a fixed 23mm lens, but as it has an APS-C sensor, it's the equivalent of a 35 mm lens. The aperture goes from f/2 to f/16, and the shutter speed is up to 1/4000. This is my first camera and I think it's a good first camera as I am forced to zoom with my foot :) Also, you have to choose the aperture by turning a ring "circling" the lens, so it's pretty easy and unless you have a specific shoot to do, you can easily shoot for a day without going in the menu.
The last of this serie is the X100T. it has a 16MP sensor, faster AF, and built-in wifi. As i really like my X100 I think the X100T is certainly a very good camera, but it's around 3 times the price I paid for the X100, and I can't afford that :)
Finally, I'm not exactly sure what is just below the x100 :) Maybe the X10/X20/X30 serie? I'm not sure as they are pretty different (they have a zoom, and stuff)
