Re-reading this, I sound less friendly than I intended so I apologize. I guess that related to what I am trying to say is that if you have a nut to loosen there are multiple tools that might be employed to do the job (crescent wrench, open end wrench, box end wrench, combination wrench (using either the box or open end side), rachet wrench, nut driver, socket set, or even a vise grip. Which one you CAN use in any given situation is going to depend on things like how much space you have to operate in; and it is going to RESULT in things like how long it takes to get the job done (with some methods faster than others). I think photography is kind of the same way. The tool we use camera/format/sensor size/lens focal length/lens aperture/etc are all sort of like that choice of tools to loosen a nut. But sometimes we just look at all cameras as a hammer and then we look at every imagemaking opportunity as a nail. Thinking about what a particular camera/lens/sensor size/focal length/aperture brings to the final image (as opposed to using a different tool) is part of the challenge of getting better than average images.
