It would have been more believable if they said a square sensor.

I'll keep my eye open for a camera with a circular sensor - makes...er...sense!!!
On a dark desert highway, cool Pentax K5 in my hand.

Interesting concept! But how could you compose for a shot that was ultimately going to end up with straight sides? I could go for it if you had a variable crop in the viewfinder so that i could do portrait,landscape or square images without moving the camera. That would be cool! (O.k i know there`s a camera with a rotating back that does some of these things)

I think its a convincing hoax!
well spotted!Regards - Pete
