I like the function on my lx100

Yes, that's a really cool thing about the Panny LX100. It was designed that way.

It's a brilliant camera.

I didn't sign the petition (when this thread started) five months ago.

Fuji X cameras already have 4:3 options, and 5:4 and 6:7 are medium format formats that I never used and don't seem natural to me.

My X-T2 only has 3:2, 1:1 and 16:9.  It doesn't bother me though as my main lens is the 23mm F2 and I want 3:2.  Plus easy to crop in post.

On the LX100 I love the feature as I use it for product photos which I want to spend minimal time in post on so can just switch the ratio aspect on the camera, shoot JPEG, levels and curves and done.

Default 3:2 (or 16:9) is best for computer monitors and HDTV, and 4:3 is almost the same as 8.5x11 paper. A4 paper is available and is closer to 3:2.

P.S. The X-T200 has 4:3, but the X-T20 does not. Go figure.
