A new full frame camera in square format.
It is just a rumor, but wouldn't that be fun!

In the interest of :deadhorse:, here's a picture showing why a 36x36 square sensor is not going to happen with current FF lenses.

Manouch,Matt,
The diameter of 24x36 is about 43mm and the diameter of 36x36 is about 52mm, only 9mm more, and since the coverage of FF lenses is much more than that, may be technically it is possible to make a 36mm square format and still use the FF lenses.

Yes, this reminds me of the Leica R camera rumor of a square sensor, and the 30x30mm image circle is accurate as possible 36x24 alternative.Manouch,
I know that some FF lenses have larger coverage, but don't the manufacturers try to limit the amount of light falling outside the frame? I was assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that there was little usable sharp image being "wasted".
Best,
Matt
