If I do crop, i will generally always try to use the shift key, so i keep the aspect ratio.

I am a bit obsessive about keeping shots in a 2:3 ratio, when doing paid work I only offer prints of this ratio.

I'm afraid I don't get why you guys insist on having you image dimension dictated to you by you sensor dimensions ... I meant why limit your creative opportunities and have potentially dead space in your images
I will often find myself thinking even at the taking stage that I want to remove some of the uninteresting foreground, and if I move in to do that in camera, then I lose some of the subject matter. So I compose with it all and the crop the image to what ever dimensions work best.
So for example: -
Watchinmg_the_World_Go_By.jpg
I think this image has been improved by removing the blank sky above the bridge and the expanse of boring grass in the foreground
Little_Jo_3085_copy.jpg
Here I've removed some blank wall
Kirkstone-9929-Edit_copy.jpg
Again I've cropped out some uninteresting sky & cluttered foreground

Here I think the impact would be totally lost if constrained to 3 x 2
As always just my two penneth
