When are we getting a camera with a cross-shaped sensor or an oversized square sensor with dark corners? This should already be the standard on the tiny smartphone sensors so I don't have to rotate my phone
>>4524316Sony cameras already have dark corners
>>4524316Action cameras are doing this for full gate recording that can be cropped either to horizontal or verticalIt's a stupid compromise for still photography, above 20 Mpx you can already comfortably crop an horizontal pic out of a vertical one
>>4524316Why does everyone hate squares?>Yields largest possible image field without vignetting for an image sensor of convex shape with only 90deg corners and straight corners allowedEverything other than 1:1 sacrifices total field of view by necessity. 1:1 has plenty in both directions to crop to landscape or portrait if desired. It's literally perfect and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.

>>4524337Why do you hate squares?
>>4524336This guy gets it. Give me the square sensor. I'll crop if how I want, if I want.
>>4524337HE Might be onto something. lens design has baffled sony. watch any xf 18 1.4 review, and then find a comparable sony lens (no ca, retains af) you have 1 hour
>>4524337If you can't elaborate, then you might as well have said nothing at all.
>>4524336>>4524348>>4524350>squares?still wastey, just make circular film that covers the entire illumination circle
>>4524336>Why does everyone hate squares?it doesn't reach as wide and tall if you want to keep using the same lens and be able to take the same photo as with your current sensorthe purple-marked areas you'd lose
I like 4:3
>>4524326A few Panasonics did that too
>>45246854:3 was nice when I had a 4:3 monitor since you can view in fullscreen and it'll fill the screen completely, no black bars. But 4:3 monitors are basically gone now outside of retro stuff so no point anymore imo.
>>4524316Just make square lenses
you should be asking where the curved fluid-filled sensors are. You know, the sensor type that animals have.
