No, Pentax has in-camera sensor-shift. It requires a tripod and is limited to about 3mm on newer models.
No way! That's cool. Well, maybe not so cool...
I just downloaded the K5 manual. "Composition adjustment" provides up to +/- 1.5mm shift and/or rise, at zero rotation. "Horizon correction" provides "up to" 2 deg rotational adjustment - this is not equivalent to tilt, it is rotating the sensor on an axis parallel to the direction the lens is pointed. Tilt and swing rotate the lens/camera on axes perpendicular to the direction the lens is pointing.
My conclusion is that the Pentax sensor motions don't provide a functional shift capability, and no tilt at all. It's nice that Pentax lets the user control rise and shift motions (which are there for camera shake compensation), but +/- 1.5mm is only 12.5% of the sensor height, and 8% of sensor width. IMO, this isn't of any functional benefit.
