Pogue is writing for electronics fans who happen to snap pictures.  Not
photographers.

We see that Pogue makes the mistake they want you to make.
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.

Here the difference is graphically disposed
