My guess is that you need broad shoulders to carry it...

More seriously, you need room for the superlative VF/screen - also think of X-E2 v. X-T1.
They could have used that potential room for a small flash on one side and a coin holder on the other but the new SL as much as the X-T1 plays on the vintage look as reflexes are now a thing of the past, more than the brick-shaped M or many current PS's.

I may be wrong as usual.

Uninformed Philippe :-)
