it's not all

it has.

did pentax only have 1 enginer that knows how to make a shutter with faster than 1/180 flash sync and did he retire before they started making digital slrs. or maybe he went around to all of the competitors and showed them instead

OK, found some....

Extended information in semi transperent OLED display in viewfinder
Automatic fixing of CA and distortion for DA and DFA lenses;
SR can be tuned by user
Exposure system will not only meter light but also use image database to decide what exposure is needed

As far as I understand, we will have horizontal leveller in viewfinder, right?

yup! that's pretty cool!

Still only 12 bit RAW - whether this really is a problem or not is not quite the point. I am just surprised they weren't able to introduce 14 bit

Pentax Z1 had 1/250s in 1992, and that shutter had 24mm to go,
on APS it´s only 16mm. So Pentax should have put in 1/250 in K10D,
and perhaps have it a little faster in K7.

Exposure system like Nikon has

Transparetn OLED sounds potentially exciting - let's hope its being used for more than simply replacing existing viewfinder information.

x-sync 1/180? WTF

Yes, I hinted to this when the K10D was released - but it wasn't ready back then.
Good to see that Pentax is finally releasing this technology that they have been working on for so long.
