Honestly why can’t the develop a camera that records portrait and landscape at the same time.

Like if you don’t want it landscape it will automatically scale it to portrait without losing visual quality

That would be impossible; there are only so many pixels it records 😂

That doesn't exist and can't be made.

The only option would be to implement tricks, like for example have a camera that records in a 1:1 aspect ration and they put an overlay on the viewfinder for 16:9 and 9:16 and you can keep your subject in line as you see fit and then choose in post production which one serves you better.

Having said that, I think another reason why people film vertically it's because it's less awkward to hold your phone vertically that it is horizontally. It's why I loved BlackBerry back in the day because they had rotated the camera 90 degrees so that it would film horizontally while keeping the phone vertically.

Yes it can.. The camera could record in 1:1 aspect ratio, then crop the image depending on if it's landscape or vertical. You could even have the option to save the cropped out bits meaning you could adjust the images along one axis after the fact.

See GoPro Hero 11, which is 8:7.

Check out the GoPro Hero 11. The sensor is 8:7, which makes it easier to change orientation.
