There are some interesting points in there but it seems he's all to happy to mention half a point when it suits and leave out the rest. Like this bit..

Quote:
Today the current 16 x 24 mm size sensors are ideal and have many advantages over using the dinosaur size of 35mm still film. Among these are deeper depth of field leading to sharper pictures since the focal lengths are shorter
Sure if you are using a shorter focal length the DoF (or area of acceptable focus if your being a little more precise) will increase in the file but what about printing. To make a print at a given size you have to enlarge more from a smaller capture than a larger one, so you lose your gain.

We all know that the bigger the format the bigger the prints you can make from it, that principle may be slightly different in digital capture due to pixel size on the chip but it essentially reamains true.
