Canon was next and I can't remember if Nikon beat Pentax or not.



Nikon was years behind the other four big manufacturers in the 70's 
technology wise. Pentax was the first to apply aperture priority auto 
(ES) and was a pioneer in electronics in cameras along with Yashica.

Try a year behind Pentax. 1972 saw aperture priority arrive from Nikon 
in the Nikkormat EL.

Nikon was VERY conservative with the Professional F series, but was 
somewhat innovative with their non-F series SLR's.
