Probably any camera will have the same limitation unless you specifically override the automatic settings. When the camera sees much more pixel variation in the vertical direction than horizontal (normal when shooting up a road for instance) left on its own, it will optimize memory by...

I think I see the problem Mustapha: Your camera is storing the image using different pixel resolution (i.e. number of pixels per inch) for the x and y (horizontal and vertical) axii. For instance, for the 2010 image at Pape and Queen the horizontal res is 72 dpi and the vertical is 300...
