Help, I am confused. I use FF, aps-c, mft. I like all of them, for different reasons. And shamefully I must admit to even use a one incher. And now I read all these thoughtful educated threads about "mine is bigger than yours", "this is why size does not matter", or "smaller, indeed is better", and the best: "Equivalence this, equivalence that......., why F2 is not F2 and 50mm not 50mm", "dof, stops, iso cheaters,". Help, I am confused. Did I loose my identity as a photog, not knowing which size and why?

Who can help me.:-O

Simple answer is that cameras are for people who like to take photos, equivalence is for people who like to argue endlessly on forums.

Correction. Equivalence is not the cause of the endless arguments. People's misunderstanding of and prejudice against it is.

Equivalence is not a complicated subject. The vast majority of photographers understand it perfectly well. And to have a prejudice against simple optical and photographic facts would be insane. It is when self-proclaimed experts twist those facts or add contentious, or sometimes downright farcical, aspects to equivalence that the arguments start.
