That is probably true. The technology that Pentax implemented wasn't cutting edge. Features like astrotracer and GPS had been been around and sold as separate modules for several years. Pentax just integrated them into the camera. Sensor based image stabilization first appeared in 2003 and a Minolta camera. Olympus was first to market the pixel-shift. Pentax packs a lot of great features into their cameras and gives the customer a lot of features for the money. Olympus is probably the only company to pack more features into a camera, but a lot of features isn't the same thing as using cutting edge technology.
Hybrid OVF? That would be cutting edge.
Organic Sensor Tech? That would be cutting edge.
I would love to see automatic lens calibration. Nikon put it in the D500..... That should be a standard on DSLRs at this point.
