Why do yo have to loose anything? Often the picture "I see" doesn't fit the frame. If what I'm seeing is square I'll crop the image to square; if it's a panoramic it may be cropped wide and short.
I don't loose any pixels, but I may waste paper or pay extra for prints. It also may require custom framing, but I prefer it to everything being in a "standard format"
