But take care of the audience if one wishes to discuss this; some people may get angry if they misunderstand.
This is relevant if you want to get deeper into photography, for the masses who want to keep a record of their activities, even an iPhone is good enough.. Buying a large sensor cam to an interchangeable lens cam just to use it as a point and shoot is a waste of money, sensor size isn't everything. It's the complete system.
