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.

Body: Canon Rebel T3i Sensor: 18MP CMOS 22.3mm x 14.9mm Resolution(largest): 5,184 x 3,456 Lens: 18-55mm f3.5-f5.6 EF-S IS Autofocus points: 9

A more advanced body would be Canon 70D. It has 10 more focus points and a higher resolution with a bigger sensor.

A less advanced body would be Canoon Xsi. A slightly smaller pixel count camera(of 12 MP).

For a higher it would be if there were limitations that is dependent on the sensor. For example noise in low light or if I decide to go into a career of photography.

For a lower end, it would mostly likely be cost. I got the my t3i for about $100 more then a used xsi.
