In like 6x7 primarily after my Mamiya RB67 but 4x3 approximates to that in digital, so my Panasonic LX100 is mainly left on that ratio or occasionally 1x1. My DSLR is obviously 3x2 and I find that too wide for my taste but as I'm composing in that ratio, I leave it like that and don't alter it later. What I would like but will never get, is a full frame 4x3 camera with the sensor the same width as FF but with a length conforming to 4x3 ratio. I know I could crop an FF EVF camera but I'd still be fretting about the lost pixels.

For a given image circle, the closer you get to square the more pixels you end up with.  I think a 1:1 sensor would be really cool.
