[OFF] A square multi orientation multi aspect ratio sensor makes the portrait grip useless: you can always hold the camera in ‘landscape’ position even if you want to shot in portrait mode. The orientation could be set (together with the aspect ratio) using a switch – instead of rotating the body. Moreover, a simple tilting screen/viewfinder would be enough for all situations, no need for swivelling screen.
Don’t confuse this with classical square sensor systems. Unlike e.g. MF cameras, in our case the square multi aspect and orientation sensor should cover not just the image circle for 1:1 (square) format but also for 4:3 portrait, 4:3 landscape, 16:9 portrait and 16:9 landscape modes respectively, and won’t use all pixels simultaneously, see the illustration below (omitted the 4:3 modes for simplicity).
(Considering the major importance I will post this in every upcoming threads from now on. Hope both our admin and you, guys will forgive me for this kind of ‘harassment’ being a small price paid for making this killer feature as standard for future M43 bodies.)
Add my name to the public outcry for square sensors. I thought it wasn’t worth the cost or the trouble, and that it was a solution lacking a problem, but after a few (identical) posts, you have convinced me otherwise.
Having to rotate the camera for portrait mode is now my favorite 1st World Problem.
With two of us now, I am confident that square sensors will happen twice as fast. I may make a facebook page, to ratchet up the pressure to the next level.
Forget it squares. I’m firmly in the circular sensor camp.
It would be the high time for Pana 32–100/2.8 to get dropped near $1000.
Waiting and still waiting…
What is the point of the Tamron 14-150? Is it cheaper than the Olympus? Is it faster focusing? Does it have higher image quality?
Or is it just there to cover fixed costs?
Still not $499 for the GX1 with X lens at Amazon. That combo is $792.40. For the $499 you get the standard 14-42. Time to update your post.
