When I was photographing a seminar at the dojo today, I tried
photographing in square crop mode.
On the bright side, it worked great for the photos that I was taking.
two people practicing Aikido can nearly fill a square composition, where
they leave a lot of the 3:2 frame empty.
On the down side, the raw files are no smaller. I also don't see any
easy way of recovering (in lightroom) the image that was cropped off to
either side, so the frames where someone's limb left the frame, I would
have been better off shooting uncropped.
If the square crop gave us 24 MP square images (rather than 36 3:2) it
would be awesome, it would save space on the card, and more importantly
in the buffer. As it is, all it saves me is selecting a bunch of frames
and cropping them square.
