Another source condemns 3:2 format

Maybe condemn is too strong, but it's been clear for too long that the
3:2 or APS-C format (and the so-called, "full frame" 35mm format) is
too wide. The 4/3rd ratio is more logical and results in far fewer
instances of cropping an image. What good are 12-24 megapixels if you
have to hack away 1/4 of them most of the time?

Screw you. I happen to be very happy with the 3:2 format, & even when I
crop an image (not often), I usually retain the 3:2 ratio. 4:3 reminds
me too much of a TV screen, which I feel gives a certain mundane look.

I've been doing some prints at 16:9, widescreen video format, I kinda
like it. Part of the motivation was to get bigger than 13x19 using roll
stock, so it's closer to 13x24.
