I hope to get a Diana Mini soon.  It shoots a square format.  And I think they 
are fun.  And I like fun.  You know, it would be really cool if we had that 
option in the K5--some shooting option of some sort. I have no idea how the 
camera might be technically configured to do such a thing, but I'd be kind of 
cool if we could have that option.  Cheers, Christine.

If you want to shoot in square format with your K-5, there's always 1:1 crop in lightroom. I suppose you could also put the camera in "clean sensor" mode to get the mirror and shutter out of the way and put some electrical tape on the edges of the sensor, and crop the image in hardware.

Also, I think the renewal of this is somewhat related to the
lomography movement:

I remember reading when the Q first came out that some thought that
the Q was the high end camera for the lomogrpahy types.

It's like impressionism.  It's really popular for a while, and then
it's still fine as long as everyone doesn't do it.

I'd blame the smartphones and their cheap "image improvement" apps, if 
anything. But not even Fuji Velvia can call dibs on saturated colours, I think.

I've noticed the same trend. Since a couple of weeks ago I've submitted and 
voted on photos at Panoramio, and you wouldn't believe the... Hmmm... Diversity 
of photos submitted there. After a few rounds I have to vote at PPG just to 
rest my eyes for a while.
But that said, it seems to be a trend with more than the general public. Last 
night I stopped at the NatGeo website, and browsed a set of photos from a cave 
system in Vietnam that had actually made it into their printed mag. The reds 
and greens were all over the place.
And I'm a sucker for colour power myself... :-)
