I don't think it is much of a stretch to say that if you are interested in super-resolution you are already using a tripod, just as back in the day you used a tripod and shot with the mirror locked up when you wanted super sharpness. In addition, as I mentioned (and was demonstrated in the video linked) in the other thread, this has huge implications for astrophotography. Canon has OWNED the astrophotography market for many years even though their cameras and sensors have been lapped by the competition... they are all people talk about in astrophotography. If Pentax builds the astrotrack capability into their camera (rumored for the K-3 II - and presumably the FF) AND they do this Bayer shift, astrophotographers will notice. It is a sizable market& a particularly important one with DSLR sales shrinking.
I hope that the astrotracer function is upgraded to work with manual focus lenses based on the programed focal length. But, I doubt that they will.
