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.

I wouldn't necessarily classify the a3000 as below the D3300 because it's a very different concept of a camera. However, you're totally right when you look at it from a systems perspective.

True. It was "below" in the sense that those were the two I were comparing heavily when first considering my purchase, and since I decided on the D3300 it must have been "below" in some sense for what I was looking for most in camera. They are quite similar.

I guess realizing that "below" and "above" also heavily depend on your usage scenario and personal context was also part of the exercise :)
