Is there still a need for SD 4:3 format or will it just eventually die off as HDTV and widescreens take over?
I know the camera market has shifted that way too so I was just curious.
An example I know of is that the skateboarding videography community is still grasping on to 4:3 because they don't like chopping heads off the skateboarders and there's really nothing in the background thats "interesting" in most shots so 16:9 isn't a huge requirement. It's been admitted by the top filmers that if there were some switching to 16:9 its only because its the trend right now. Most are diehard Sony VX users.
