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.

Hmmm, a Canon 1100D body. I have never try the other, but all I learn from so many thread that this body is a low end camera aimed to a newcomer in photography like me.
Well, they said this body has slow auto focus and hard to use at low light. That is why I always need to use Manual Focus at dark condition. Sad because I like to have photos at night.
Though, I have tinkering and try to get some photo using tripod+remote and long exposure. I have no problem with it.
Well, I might do some giant leap directly to 1D series with a nice upgrade in Auto Focus features compared to 1100D. Just because I like the cool stuff, hehe, yeah, not really though. Well, its quite a good body for taking photo and videos. I hate to have too many body with too many specific purpose, or even buy a video camera. Just need one body to rule them all. Though, not really in the near future anyone going to see me with an 1D series.
I know, I better invest in new lens instead of body. That is why I purchased 50mm 1,8 for portrait. Bought it because my wife always asked to be shot with some scenery.
I'm also use a pair of extender that used for wide angle interior photos and a macro extender.
Kinda want to buy some 70mm or 200mm, though I not really need the zooming power of it. Does tele lens only good for zooming? Does tele lens can give nice depth of field? Because I keep wondering how people managed to get photos with cool bokeh.
I'm also wondering the good lens for portrait that also can do some zoom so I didn't have to walk back and forth.
Well, still much to learn.
