I have long wondered why camera makers don't move more in the direction of building more sophisticated internal cooling into their designs. Long exposures and video, and large LCDs with live view generate heat, and heat is damaging to both electronics and image quality.
Me too. I think a lot can still be done on that purpose.
Imagine taking a body form factor like the Pentax 645D, moving the sensor forward so it is at the 35mm lens flange distance (not the 645 lens distance), and then using all that new room behind the sensor for a cooling system. You would have video and long exposure advantages GALORE.
Not my approach, not at all. Such a camera will become a K-mount body then, not a 645 one. At that point, just design a K-mount body (without any 645 constraints) based on the 36 MP sensor of the Nikon D800 and put extra emphasis on sensor cooling. Building a Nikon D800(E) with better noise performance would be cool ;-)
