Be careful, they might stay that way, this is Pentax we are talking about.

Rob, I won't believe that for a nanosecond.
They'll use that technology on their upcoming DLRS's too, take it for granted.

Did they disclose the CCD shift technology used somewhere? Pentax patented a way to shift the CCD a while ago, using bending arms to shift a platform with the CCD. That system would be possible on a compact, but very hard on a SLR because the arms would be in the way of light path to the focussing screen.

Funnily enough I could see a way to make it work on the D645. There's room behind the sensor there...
