What would you think about a graphical feature that provides various aspect ratios and also framing guidelines, rather than cropping?

For instance: if I want a 5:4 aspect ratio where the framing guidelines are by golden sections instead of the rule of thirds, it would put that on the viewfinder. Or maybe a 2:3 with diagonals.

I was just about to suggest that but you beat me to it. I can't quite remember what camera I had, but it essentially provided a "crop" frame option for common print sizes. So a graphic only option would work fine for me. In fact I would prefer that to an actual crop. I always shoot RAW plus jpeg and like the ability to crop the full frame as desired. I guess with the graphic frame, it would also be possible for fuji to crop the JPEG automatically as it is saved.

There are a lot of people that might like an aspect ratio differential than 2x3 but shoot OOC JPEG only. Sometimes the world just doesn't fit in a 2x3 frame.  So in this case I can see if they would want a cropped to the desired aspect ratio the OOC jpeg.

On the other hand I would suggest that the Raw should not be cropped.
