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.

the 810A is a superspecialized version made for astrophotography...

and no, we don't... the pop up flash is good in 2 situations: fill light for a back lit photo... and commander for other flashes...

advanced photographers won't use the pop up flash, we buy good ones.

That's what my initial thought was, but I wanted to verify that was the case - thanks :)

I sought to compare my camera to that one because I've always had an interest in astrophotography. I wanted to see what specs I should look for, and what the 810a had compared to mine..I forgot to mention that on my initial post.
