4:3 or 3:2 on G1?

Frank,

 

The G1 is essentially a 4:3 camera, and the way it achieves the other aspect ratios -- 3:2and 16:9 -- is simply by cropping the image vertically, rather than expanding it horizontally. In other words (as i understand it), you don't really get a wider angle with a given lens, you just get a different shape.

 

Nevertheless, I sometimes find it helpful to change the ratio for convenient framing. For vertical headshots, 4:3. For landscapes, 16:9. For street stuff, maybe 3:2. But you could just as easily bang away all the time at 4:3 and then crop in the computer, or crop your prints.
