These pictures are great examples that in good light almost any camera will do. In poor light, every millimeter helps.

Exactly!

So here are the conclusions, expressed above, to the question, "Do you really need a full-frame camera?"

1) It's not the sensor, it's the photographer.
2) It's not the photographer, it's the lighting.
3) In poor lighting one needs a big sensor.
4) And most importantly, upgrading equipment is indicative of a character defect, though, using Boolean logic, not if the lighting is poor.

Did I miss anything?

Practice is cheaper than another new camera.

I have the pleasure of viewing a woman photographer, who uses a T3i with a 28-135 F3.5 lens.
She produces very high quality pictures. Yes, for sure her composition is way above. Most photos are very lightly PP. She has proven that 18MP camera does job.

The EF 28-135 is a wonderful lens, one of Canon's first ever IS-enabled zooms. The T3i an early entry into what are now "rebel" bodies with capabilities that now exceed older 'advanced' cameras like the EOS 70D.

I sold my 28-135mm F3.5-5.6 lens and bought Canon 24-105mm L F4.0. I compared the two and I had a very hard time seeing any major difference. However, the front lens on the 28-135 was getting pretty loose. I would have to remove the front lens and clean out the dust.

I shot the 28-135 for only a bit, bought used and sold. I did that clean-out process myself for dust, even sold it for more than I bought.

Funny, Since I NEVER sell anything, my old T3I still sits with the ancient non-USM 100mm 2.8 macro which effectively results in an apparent 160mm. Great for chasing the pups around the yard as well as an occasional closeup. Love those older Canons with the top LCD deck...
