That's what I've been asking on page 10 of this thread!

This has been answered multiple times in multiple threads. The maximum frame rate is dependent on the vertical resolution (number of rows) that you are using, NOT the total number of pixels.

Since 16:9 is using more rows, it is going to have to read more of them which limits the fps.

In other words, clipping off the left and right side of the cropped image isn't buying you any speed in the sensor. It is however probably buying you space in your stream of data coming from the sensor which means smaller files.

Two different issues.

I think it's very interesting that they're hitting the limits of the sensor read-reset before they hit limits of the brain's processing power. These things are freakin' POWERFUL.
