I've done a lot of pixel shift work with the K1 and have to say that it represents an incremental improvement in detail and dynamic range, but is not a critical factor. In focus stacks there is a noticeable improvement in detail using pixel shift mode, and its visible when pixel peeping or when printing at larger sizes. But its not something that would make or break an image - I can't imagine a situation where I'd look at an image and think that it would not work if shot in non pixel shift mode, even if the pixel shifted image has more detail. It's an incremental improvement, but not a game changer.

I agree that pixel-shift might pretty-much close the gap between the
two bodies for landscape, but it is completely useless for many
styles/subjects of shooting. Like any kind of people or sports. Any
handheld use. In fact anything at all where the subject or camera
might move. :)

And then there's the issue of processing pixel-shifted results. All I
hear lately is folks perplexed about how you post-process
pixel-shifted files. To me all this makes pixel shift a novelty
feature.
