Mirrorless main advantage has been neglected.
Mirrorless technology has advantages and disadvantages over mirrored cameras.
In my opinion the one main advantage of mirrorless has been overseen so far: Multi-ratio cameras.
Manufacturing a slightly bigger sensor than 24X36 could be enough for having in one camera all popular pictures ratios without sacrificing any effective sensor area. I mean a rectangle in any ratio bearing 864 square mils.
If I would want to push the technology even higher to the sky (heavenly), I would manufacture a 36X36 Exmor sensor.
Multi ratio and horizontal-vertical switching with a sweet push of my pinky!
This can be achieved using all FF lenses in existence. No new lenses needed as long the sensor is instructed to yield a square or rectangle within the boundaries of the image circle projected by the lens.

QUOTE=wallpaperviking;619680]Not sure if this has been mentioned but I would desperately love to see more crop options on the new Sony..
Namely a 5:4 ratio!
At this stage, I have the back screen taped up to represent this but when using the eyepiece, there is only 3:2 or 16:9.
Other options would be nice as well, 1:1 would be awesome and something that I often use on my Ricoh GR
The other option which would be nice but will probably never happen, is to have the camera crop to a certain aspect ratio ( 5:4 ) but then have the full 3:2 sensor file captured, leaving the option to creatively crop in post..
That is one really nice thing about the higher end Nikon DSLR's, they have a 5:4 option and it is something that I much prefer.. I t also is much closer to many medium format film cameras..
What do you guys think?[/QUOTE]
