I preferred shooting native 16:9 and it still has legs and now there are all kinds of ways to upgrade the definition, but 4:3 just dates your product.
In the old days TV was 4:3, but theatrical movies were 16:9 for at least 20 years prior. We made and sold movies to both , that is why we shot 16:9 safe ( NOT because we were smart).....we have nothing in 4:3 since about 2005

now everything is in 16 :9 so I do NOT see the reason for cropping.
