The Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 DC lens is highly versatile, capable of replacing multiple prime lenses for APS-C shooters and potentially challenging the need for full-frame systems due to its performance, size, and cost advantages. For many users, especially those on a budget or seeking portability, an APS-C setup with this lens may be more practical and equally effective than full-frame alternatives, prompting a reevaluation of the perceived superiority of larger sensors.
A recent opinion piece claiming that all small sensor cameras are inferior to full-frame options is debunked by the PetaPixel team, who argue that sensor size does not determine build quality, technology, or color reproduction. They highlight the high-quality offerings in the APS-C and Micro Four Thirds categories, emphasizing that smaller sensors offer unique features and value propositions. The team encourages photographers to use what works for them and to appreciate the variety of options available in the market.
Photographer and YouTuber Jessica Kobeissi addresses comments from viewers questioning her use of a DSLR camera instead of a mirrorless one.

Jessica emphasizes the importance of upgrading because one wants to, not just because others say so, as ultimately, it's the quality of the picture that matters, not the camera used.
