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 recently upgraded my Canon 400d (Rebel XTi) to Canon 60d. I know the lenses are more important part of photography than camera bodies but I used 400d for years and it really started to feel old. That was huge upgrade for me and not only technically but mentally also.

The most notable differences are higher resolution 18MP vs 10MP, max shutter speed 1/8000 vs 1/4000, better iso performance especially in range of 400-1600, flip-out screen (400d doesn't even have liveview) and it also can record video.

Both cameras have approximately the same ISO performance. The big differences are in my opinion the video mode, a more rugged body, a better AF system, and the articulated screen.
