He thinks the sigma has a "regular 35mm" DSLR APS-C sized sensor. In fact it is half that size About the size of a 4/3's sensor. 4/3 though respectable in comparison to your typical credit card camera or cell phone sensor is NOT THE NORM. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sigmadp1/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APS-C Here the difference is graphically disposed http://a.img-dpreview.com/reviews/sigmadp1/images/sensorsizes.gif
