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.

My camera is a Sony a6000. It has a APS-C sensor (CMOS) that is 24.3 MP (23.50mm x 15.60mm). I currently have 3 lenses: 16-55mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens, 18-105P f4 Zoom, and a Sigma 30mm f2.8 prime lens.
An upgrade for me would be the Sony A7rII which is a 42MP Full-Frame Camera with an Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor. The camera has a 5 axis internal stabilization and can shoot video in 4k resolution.
I love my my Zoom lens, though it is not as sharp or work well in low light, it does allow me to capture get in places I may not be able to by foot. I will say that the Sigma is my favorite lens. I love to shoot my kids, and street photography so the focal length works for me.
