[OM] Re: Super 4/3?

[Chuck Norcutt]

Now that I've had some more coffee I think my memory about square format 
was faulty.  I think the statement was more like the 4/3 standard had 
codified the image circle and not the aspect ratio.  Therefore, someone 
was free to make a square format as long as it fit within the image 
circle which is probably pretty close to the diagonal of the existing 
4/3 sensors.
