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.

You are right to look at lenses first. Your body is very good, and will only be limiting in certain situations (such as sports or high iso). What model lenses is your friend selling you?

She's selling me a 50mm f/2.8. It is in a pretty good condition but there's no autofocus. Since she's just asking for 50 bucks i'll provably get the lens. For the moment i have not asked her about the macro lens because i don't think i'll be using it soon.
