I can not agree with this article in its entirety. A larger sensor supposedly collects more light because it has a larger area but on the other hand if the number of Mp. is high those pixels are small to fit into the sensor and small pixels do not collect light as well as larger pixels. Dynamic range today is not too different with a "full frame sensor" when compared to a cropped sensor. I am sure that there are exception but a good number of modern sensors have a dynamic range of about 13 stops and that is a lot.
I cannot agree with the statement that pictures made with a "full frame" are superior in quality to those with a cropped sensor. That is not my experience and I use both type of sensors. Mp. could be important for clarity and sharpness but a good resolving lens is as important.
Many cameras today with smaller sensors do as well as cameras with bigger sensors.

The only reason to use crop sensor cameras (IMHO) is to extent lenses such as Canon EF versus EF-S.
When I had the Canon 7D2 enjoyed the reach of EF 70-300mm, but happier with 6D2 images when working on these on computer, specially when croping. Actually happier with 6D2 in general...

I think that was mostly what the article was about.

Posted back on May 30th, but I also agree that small sensors are on a fast track, especially with AI. Not for me though. Bigger (FF) will always be better!

Given the same technology, your statement is correct. But digital camera sensor technology is following Moor’s Law, so after a few years, smaller sensors out-perform the larger ones that are a few years older.
