That's nice, but in the professional print world, 4:3 is still a lot
closer to the average picture format than 3:2.

As if that means anything.

It really doesn't matter what the frame proportions are within a
reasonable range of 1:1 to about 2:1. Photographs are not supposed to
be stuffed into a restrained proportion anymore than a painting is.


Part of the brag of the 1.5 crops over 4/3rds is that it is a bigger frame.
It isn't if you crop it even a little.


You only crop if you need to for whatever end use is needed. So the
counter argument goes that when you need a larger aspect ratio photo,
4/3 wastes more pixels while getting less resolution for the image.
