I'm using fx50 and there are 3 aspect ratio to choose from, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9.
Which aspect ratio is recommended?
Also, see which one gives you the highest resolution, the other 2 are probably cropped from the native aspect ratio.I'm using fx50 and there are 3 aspect ratio to choose from, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9.

What is your intended hard copies size? If you stick to 4R, it is better to use 3:2 ratio.You mean the way to choose is to see which one gives the highest resolution?
Are there any other factors to consider other than viewing on TV or monitor?
I mean, does it affect if I am to develop the photos to hard copies?
The reason why I made this choice is because if I need any other aspect ratio, I could just crop the sides off. When printing you will have a choice whether to fit the image in, so there may be some white borders or to fill the whole paper with the centre crop of your image.You mean the way to choose is to see which one gives the highest resolution?

Is the 28mm wide angle feature of fx50 for all aspect ratios or does it only applies to 16:9?
On my LX-2 it's only for 16:9. The 3:2 and 4:3 are cropped from the 16:9 so it's no longer as wide.Is the 28mm wide angle feature of fx50 for all aspect ratios or does it only applies to 16:9?
Yeah.. I shoot at 16:9 most of the time.. any other aspect ratio I could just crop myself. I'm not familiar with the FX50.yup, I read somewhere that the wide angle feature for the LX series is only for 16:9. So do you take in 16:9 most of the time?
What about fx50? Is the wide angle for all aspects?
If the sensor is native 4:3, then to get 16:9 would be cropping the top and bottom, this would not impact the horizontal angle of coverage. So in this case, TS should shoot at 4:3 and if you need any other aspect ratio, just crop it later yourself.For FX-50, the highest resolution is in 4:3 format. I believe that the sensor is also in 4:3 format.
4:3 - 3648 x 2736 pixels
3:2 - 3600 x 2400 pixels
16:9 - 3584 x 2016 pixels
Not very huge difference in terms of wide angle. But technically, the widest is in 4:3 ratio.
This is the first time I realised that there are 16:9 sensors. I guess for LX2 the aspect ratio does indeed make a significant difference in the wide angle.

Yes, you can easily see that the 16:9 is obtained by cropping the top and bottom of the 4:3 image because the vertical resolution is reduced while the horizontal remains the same.Do you mean fx50 native aspect ratio is 4:3?
What is TS?
Thanks for all the advice guys. Have been shooting with various cameras but never really go and learn about the more technical details. I'm still learning and have more to learn.
