As I understand it, it is not the pixel shift technology that there is anything wrong with, but rather Pentax's implementation of everything else around it. Pentax could easily have implemented a proper EFCS in LV mode without slamming the mirror up and down. Also EFCS in mirror-up mode with a proper delay should have bern easy. Olympus has implemented a similar pixel shift technology without any of Pentax's limitations in the OM-D series. And no, it doesn't matter if mirrorless or DSLR regarding a properly implemented pixel shift technology, since the LV mode on the Pentax K-1 should have bern able to work exactly like a mirrorless OM-D.

While the D300 doesn't have EFC, it also had the annoyance of slamming the mirror both down and then up again when using LiveView mode ... so made the Lv experience one to avoid other than for achieving accurate focusing.

Surely those Pentax's annoyances could be fixed with a firmware update?
