Pixel Shift is a benefit, not a drawback. It's something you want. Most all three-chip cameras, with very rare exceptions, use Pixel Shift or some other form of pixel offset technology. It's very much a good thing, not a bad thing.

Not sure what you mean by "true" HD, but I don't think it's been conclusively stated that Sony isn't using some form of pixel offset in the EX series. They haven't said they are using it, but neither have they said they're not using it. Pretty much a non-issue relative to other major differences anyway.
