I don't do alot of video. Don't know if it will be a problem. Was there a good reason to crop on the G90?

I think the reason the 4K video was cropped so much on the G90 was due to the sensor being higher density so a relatively smaller portion of the sensor's pixels was needed for 4K video.  They could have taken video from the entire sensor and re-sampled it down to 4K size but that would've involved more processing and therefore a more powerful processor etc.

That's why 4K on my 16mp G80/85 isn't cropped as much...it was a lower density sensor to begin with so 4K requires relatively more of the sensor's resolution.
