The 100d / sl1 sensor was great in blazing sunlight had a very film like highlight response, very gentle

All digital sensors cutoff at saturation. None have any sort of film-like roll-off.

You might be mistaking the in-camera raw conversion engine for a sensor effect.

I just got a 200d / sl2 and find that like the Nikon d5300 i had it overexposes too easily in sunlight

That sounds like a metering issue. Are you using evaluative or something else?

I've heard of people preferring older sensors- particularly the d700 and 5d 1 as they are nore 'film like'

Those people are delusional.

Today I had my sl2 set up same way and same lens as my sl1 with highlight tone priority. Even with minus 1 ev dialed in it exposed way to hot.

Metering mode?

Evaluative exact same shooting set up on voth cameras.  The d5300 did it too

I was so happy with the sl1 after the d5300 as i could open up raw files in acr without swathes of red clipping warning everywhere in summer shots
