General photography questions!

Where is the remote?
Stuck in a traffic snarl, read the article, usually stay miles away from such techie stuff. In paragraph 4.3.... coincidentally the author has also dabbled into a bit of apples and oranges stuff. Couldn't follow the article , oh so arcane. But the conclusion made a bit of sense, larger sensor allows better subject isolation. Known this all these years though

Leh'd and how!
All for a healthy diet.
Anyway , what is your conclusion? Would love to see some images as well, in the line of this discussion.

Actually, the conclusion is, larger sensors allow more room to play with unless the FL on the smaller sensor is equivalent. Since FX is capturing a larger frame, you've better control on the DOF.
Also how on a larger sensor you can zoom in more and derive shallow DOF at higher aperture numbers.

Which brings us back to square one. Have you noticed a three words sentence in that article , " can't beat physics". That has also made sense to me

Ditto, but as the Brits say, horses for courses! :D
Can't carry a 3kg setup any longer so I'll opt for a pocket camera and live the compromise :drinkers:

I was just ranting in general. I have read your reasons for a shift earlier and that made sense. Perhaps I congratulated you too for knowing what do you need.
Cheers
Over and out

Thank you so much Ankur, very helpful links, especially the second one!
Okay no more technical stuff. Few years back I was on a vacation. I was using two camera Nikon D3200 with 50mm 1.4G (APSC) and Canon G7X (1") simutaneously.
Canon G7X was a perfect all rounder. Great reach, colors, clarity, low noise performance, compact.
