I've always framed pretty loosely and the cropped in post. With my 24 mpx nex7 this was never ever an issue. I could throw away over half the frame if I wanted and not have any issues. The few times I made sure to frame it perfectly in camera, I got home and realized I couldn't crop to anything except my original aspect ration. Probably, having such leeway made me a lazy photographer.
Not that I am down to only 16 mpx, I feel pretty bad throwing away "valuable" pixels, but I don't want to ruin anymore shots by limiting myself to 4x6.
Really, it just made me curious where everyone else stands on this issue. Do you make it perfect in camera? Do you already have an aspect ratio in mind when you shoot, and instinctually frame accordingly? Or do you frame loose and crop later?
Most importantly, how much leeway do I have in a 16mpx image to crop later? Assuming I'm not printing more than an 8x10.
