My impression is that it allows you to switch from Program mode to Shutter Priority or Aperture Priority simply by using the shutter and aperture wheels. So it effectively combines three exposure modes without having to change the mode dial.

On both my K-30 and my KP, I can use the front e-dial to change shutter-speed in 'P' mode and it will change aperture to match, or I can use the rear e-dial to change aperture in 'P' mode and it will change shutter-speed to match; isn't this just an extension to ISO?

Yes, basically it is. I can do this already with my K-1(did not think it like that untill now) if I choose ISO choosen as function to my e-dial. But ISO won’t react as it would for example TAv mode it does.

So, not ground breaking but itis handy in making things even more simple. As was their goal.

I basically shoot all time time in either 'P' mode or 'TAv' mode these days - then modify shutter speed or aperture depending on what I need.

It is handy. I shoot mostly M -mode...but that will change.

I almost always shoot P because of Hyper program. Of only normal P is available, I switch to Av/TV.

I mostly use Av, TAv or Tv.
But will in the future very probably keep P with these new features.
