Re: Square sensors - © silkstone
I think Silkstone has rightly identified what is wrong with the world. Projecting images at a camera club used to be a doddle with slides as the format of the projector was square. Now we have to use a digital projector which is the same 4:3 ratio as the current sensors. Sure this is fine for your landscape shot but what about us portrait workers; we only get to use the area in the middle of the projector. I know what you are all thinking; why not turn the projector through 90 degrees. Apparently they are only designed to be used one way and that is landscape format.
So Silkstone, please ask the manufacturers to produce square projectors as well then those with the new square sensors will gain maximum benefit and at least landscape and portrait workers will be treated equally.
