Yes, it would make more sense and waste less raw materials if the sensor
was a 36mm circular one. No longer any worries about tilted horizons.
Image formatting would be done entirely post, choosing whatever
orientation you wanted. Never did understand why we have to use round
lenses to create rectangular images, after all.
Leftover pixels from rounding off the square sensor could be carried
over to the next sensor, or used in point and shoot models.

Though the chances of us getting a round sensor in the next Pentax
camera are about the same as of us getting a square one!
