Anyone shoot 3:2

Jul 9, 2011

I wonder if it is just force of habit but I am inclined to waste sensor area (on my G2 I know the GH2 doesn't have the same loss) by shooting 3:2.

Maybe it is that 3:2 is closer to the golden ratio? Or maybe I am just too stuck in my ways. I have to admit I like 3:2 more than 4:3 for compositions and while I know I can crop I have an easier time composing in the aspect ratio I want the image in.
