I think I agree with PJ. I took one look at the specs of the KP and knew it wasn't for me. In my case size and weight was the issue. A couple of years ago I bought am Olympus E-M10 for a specific purpose - a compact & lightweight camera for travel that didn't lose much (if anything) to my K-5.

I've been looking around to see what is lost when pixel shift is set to Motion correction mode and haven't found any information about it. It seems that by giving you the option to select between enabling motion correction or not, there must be some situation when non-corrected mode is better,

I like the design of the KP. The small form factor, and the higher ISO made me almost decide to pre-order the KP to upgrade from my K-5. For use in the theatre, low light performance is important to me. But the price gap of the KP with K-1 is not that great, so I bought the K-1 instead. But now
