It is called cropping.

Duh…
But it would give the square format the full use of available pixels. Which I think is cool.

50k Yen is only US$322 at current exchange, 100k Yen would still be dirt cheap compared to mirrorless or dSLR prices! So 36x36 sensor would be a bargain by any measure.

Canon unveils unprecedented "analog concept camera" - waist-level digital camera, commercialization yet to be decided

I believe if Canon released that as a 35mm half frame film camera, it would be more interesting to the retro crowd.

Why stop at 35mm half-frame? Sharan made a tiny Hasselblad replica for Minox film.

DSLRs are still being made?
