The Program Shift and EV compensation controls are how I shoot with the Sony R1 most of the time. Sony also programmed the camera to understand exposure evaluation for RAW vs JPEG as well, so the auto exposure on the R1 is amongst the most accurate I've seen for RAW shooting.
I'm glad the K10D includes Program Shift. HyperProgram seems a little redundant to me, but I've not used it in a Pentax before. The KM A2 has something similar and I haven't found it to be all that useful, but I'll reserve judging it until I get to fool with it a bit.
