I grew up with a Rolleiflex TLR. I love square photos, although for
practical reasons most of my photos are rectangular. 2:3 format always
seems too oblong for my taste, I find 3:4 and slightly squarer
proportions more appealing. It's definitely one of the reasons I like
FourThirds format. A square sensor would do me very nicely.
Square format photographs have been the standard for record albums, CD
jewel cases, etc for, what, 60 years? It's a pretty big niche.

Never did like it, never will. Square is definitely a niche market.
And yes, Hasselblad and other MF makers have been successful in
that niche, but it's still a niche.
