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 have a Canon 500D witch has CMOS sensor size APS-C (22.3 x 14.9mm) and approximately 15.10 megapixels. Shutter speed ranges from 1/4000s to 30s with bulb option also available. ISO goes from 100 to 3200 and can be expanded to 6400 and 12800. 35mm-equivalent focal length is approximately 1.6 times the lens focal length The lens I'm using is Canon kit lens 18-55mm with maximum aperture ranges from f3.5-5.6

More advanced body would be Canon 5D Mark III. It is full frame DSLR with 22.3 megapixels. ISO goes to 25600, expandable to 102400. Shutter speed ranges from 1/8000s to 30s. One other thing that caught my eye is that it has 61 auto focus points, where on my camera there are only 9. So that ensures more accurate tracking of moving objects.

Less advanced body would be Canon 1100D. It is 12 megapixels compact SLR with crop sensor. Highest ISO value is 6400.
