I don't know if the new M50 will incorporate a larger sensor for aspect ratio flexibility (I doubt it), but I think this is a feature that will be adopted by more manufacturers.

- Now that larger sensors are no longer prohibitively expensive, this feature will not cost that much to implement.

- Being able to capture more image outside of the default sensor area could improve a lot of images.

- This would also allow image aspect ratios to be modified for different image destinations (e.g. I think IG has a square thumbnail.)

- It effectiively (and inexpensively) increases the number of mpix that a chosen image has.

This feature could be the next big thing in digital photography.  It gives photographers a new valuable feature without costing manufacturers much money.

(As someone else in the thread points out, Panasonic has recently done this and it has been well received)
