Their cons:
Poor Autofocus performance (nonsense that's just about tracking something moving toward you)
No dedicated AF point selector (though it can be set as four-way default) push one button and it is dedicated.
Limited modern full-frame lens selection (but lot's of legacy glass)
Limited uses for Pixel Shift Resolution shooting modes (static environments) (compared to no pixels shift resolution at all)
Limited Raw support for Pixel Shift Files ('software is supplied)
Low-spec video and limited focus control in video mode (nothing about quality? just spec???????)
Nested menu layout. (The Menu's are fine)
Limited control customization (did they try? they probably couldn't find it in the menu they don't like)
Poor default JPEG settings (they are settings. The fact they don't like them doesn't matter, they can change them through the menu they don't like)
And IBIS is not among pro's
Well most of their cons are spot on I think. This is not because Pentax is our brand that we have to be blind.
On my K3 for example I often resent the lack of dedicated control for focus point selection. I end up messing up with WB or jpeg setting because same control is used for too many things.
It is actually true that pixel shift while interresting is for very specific use cases and it could be argued that it is not that necessary for most and that it is not post processing friendly.
There actually few modern DFA lenses (only 5) and except the 28-105 they are all very expensive. The Sigma/Tamron offering of modern lenses is also absent.
Video performance is quite low.
I do not agree for menu layout, but this is mostly something of habit. When you driven a car for 10 years, if you change brand, the new controls are always mislading so I can understand the comments.
The Jpegs I don't care and don't know enough honestly as I always shoot raw.
