on the Nikon D800 one option they offer is to "grey out" the cropped area. I'd be down with that.

Originally posted by biz-engineer Indeed , that would make more sense than just APSC sized crops. BTW, I like the square format and 4x5 type of radio, unfortunately on APSC it wastes a lot of the sensor area and pixels.
If they *MAINTAINED" the crop sensor diagonal of 28mm, then a 4x5 "crop" when using a crop-sensor lens would be taller than a mere 2:3 crop.
Basically they could maximize the number of pixels covered by any crop-sensor lens for any cropped proportion when used on full-frame bodies.
This would be a great benefit for those trying to maximize the value of their current set of crop-sensor lenses.
And it should be noted that a few DA lenses will cover most of 24x36mm sensor area anyway, so a full-on 24x24 square using such DA lenses would be just dandy.
