My personal preference for aspect ratio is whatever lets me get cheap 
picture frames. It's pretty easy to get 8x12 prints but not as easy to get a 
cheap frame to hold it.

I suspect the difficulty with orientation is a side affect of the smaller 
image my eye sees. For awhile I was amazingly consistant at needing a 1 
degree clockwise rotation to get things level. Lately I've over come that 
problem. I'm just as likely to need a counterclockwise rotation  :-(

I've been wondering how many people would prefer a C*non 5D as it is, or the 
equivalent camera using the Olympus/Kodak sensor technology. The tradeoff 
being more resolution vs. low noise at high ISO speed etc. For me right now, 
being familiar with an 8MP E300, I would go for more resolution. In reality 
at the 12MP level (assuming the appropriate aspect ratio), I might be 
completely satisfied and choose features other than resolution to improve. 
If Oly comes out with an almost 12MP or better camera in the spring, I would 
probably be pretty quick to get one especially if it is a $700 camera rather 
than $1500 camera.

Well actually the aspect ratio is one thing L like least on my E-1. Since I
use the E-1 I am having trouble keeping the horizon level, a problem I never
(well allmost never) experienced with my OM's.
