Its not what you shoot its what they see.
Its the edit.
What do they see: prints?
How big?
A gallery? A website?
What's the URL?

If its not prints but uploads sensor size issues seem diminished.
You could shoot the thing with a Leica Dlux 3.
The perfect internet camera as far as I go.

And you could make letter sized prints very nicely with its full sensor
working at 16:9 format.
You'd just get a lot of blank paper on long sides.
