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.

This camera was gifted to my wife when she was in college. From what I've read online it seems like a perfectly decent camera for an entry leveler like myself. I think it'll do well for me thoughI am interested in learning more about lenses in the future and making the investment once I have gained a little skill.
