I dunno if I am dying for an APSH crop, but I wish they had left the square. I shot a lot of weddings in square format. It was great not giving a second thought to portrait or landscape orientation. Even when I switched to my Pentax 645, I still shot square in my mind and didn't flip the camera around. No time, or you might miss an important shot. They even make square albums ...
Square would give the most pixel bang for the buck out of APSC Lenses... Ahah! I see the problem! Ricoh knew a square crop if available might cut into FF lens sales! They must have studied the market again, dang it!
or... they didn't want to clutter up the viewfinder with more crop frames... and... some APSC lenses might have a rectangular mask on the rear element.
