gh7 looks like this

I didnt realize that S5IIx has ventilation under the "viewfinder box".  What a strange solution.

GH 7 is MFT. But the full frame S5Ii has this as well 

MFT requires cooling then the 2x larger sensor 35mm - probably 2x -4x more heat?

I want my images to convey my emotions, not the accuracy of the scene. IMO, the older lower MP cameras do not do that better than the new breed of high MP cameras.

If you truly feel this way, switch to film.

That’s what I did when the SL3 came out. Although I strongly believe it’s the photographer not the tool that creates the image and any associated emotion, I do think that these super high resolution sensors are giving so much information that a viewer’s brain has to focus too much on processing all that detail. The photograph becomes more about the sharpness than the overall photograph.

You can see many, many examples of this right here on the forum.

The film is cumbersome and limits me to a particular film-specific look.

You can always "degrade" sharpness and resolution to the level that suits you, not vice versa. An image of excellent technical quality does not degrade its aesthetics. The higher resolution sensors give the post-processors more data to produce better results. The viewer's brain looks at the prints and JPEG outputs.

I do not see what you refer to.

Well, seeing as I disagree with all three of your responses, I will leave it at that

Which viewing medium and output size is causing this problem for viewers’ brains?

If you enjoy the aesthetic of film, or vintage lenses for that matter, shoot them. There’s no need for the pseudoscience explanation.

This sentence stuck me somewhere in the head. Often, sharpness is great, f.e. Landscapes, architecture, even a portrait. But many times it aint.

I had the original monochrom, which has been replaced with the m10m. The latter was a perfect night machine, seeing in the dark. Images were simply almost perfect. But, too me, it lacked the gritty feel of film (might be added maybe in post), and in the end I sold it. It was not the b/w I liked.

But, I just ordered an old m8. It used to be my first m, and I am really looking forward to its imperfections (compared to a nowadays camera).

A rehoused S5II would be a disappointment. 

Maybe they will come out with a boxed cinema camera with the DJI 4D sensor. 

They need to do something different. 

 

What are you dreaming of?

It’s not pseudoscience that there is an obsession with sharpness and megapixels in modern photography, most certainly on this forum, that has warped the definition of what constitutes a good picture. “Let’s zoom in 400% - see how sharp this window is?” 

You’re probably right though. Shouldn’t blame the medium for these technical preoccupations

Looking by the lack of news / rumors on SL3S 4 days before the announce date, I bet the worst is coming and SL3S might be a rehoused S5IIx with some minor changes

The 100% safe bet is that some people will claim that it's a "rehoused" Lumix, no matter what its features are, or its performance, or how different they are to use.

Strangely, the same people won't claim that the upcoming S1R2 is a "rehoused" SL3, no matter how similar the specifications are...

We all know that Leica hasn't made anything new since the turn of the millennium. It's all Panasonic or Sony, and not as good as Canon or Nikon. And made in Japan. IYKYK.

Edit. An alternative assertion is "Leica hasn't made anything itself for the last ten years". Strangely they said that 10 years ago, and will probably say the same in 10 years time.

there are little differences to expect: exterior and buttons layout, sensor not optimized for M lenses, and Menu options.

Sharpness and resolution are different things and pretty much unrelated.
