Well, sometimes (when making heightfields) I change the image dimensions to
increase the detail in a certain direction, or because I don't need that
high resolution.  Having these changes affect the camera would mean that I
would _have_ to use the same aspect ratio for my images (ie, I couldn't go
from 100x500 to 100x1000 without changing the whole scene).
