From Sensor sizes: Is full frame worth it?: For low light, events, and portraits with very shallow depth of field, yes. For travel, street, wildlife on a budget, and most hobby photography, a good APS-C camera with good lenses is enough, and you'll carry it more. Lenses and light matter more than the last stop of sensor performance.
