Pixel shift of course may have an effect on details, but that depends a lot on overall sharpness of the scene (lens vs sensor etc).

But pixel shift has a definitive effect on reducing noise, as you take the mean of 4 captures instead of just 1.

In an evenly lit scene like this it's not really perceivable, but even at ISO 100 in a scene with dark areas it can have a very noticeable impact. For example I used it when shooting boats at night in the harbor, strong contrast between lights and very dark areas, and pixel shift greatly improved the IQ of my images !
