solarisdreams,
Valid points - Pentax is not recognised for its AF wizardry. A little unfair to compare with the D300 or D700. Different class of camera. So where's Pentax's equivalents? Ask them...

People thesedays are not afraid to part with money to buy good cams, and so their expectations of what their camera should do are growing astronomically. Gen Y mentality.

A cam in auto mode should give you 'decent' sharp shots, if that's what you want - and I don't see the K10D/K20D not doing that in RAW (and in JPEG with the known provisos). But if you've not got time to 'fiddle' with settings, you may not be appreciating the full gamut of features and capabilities of the camera - that would also go for your D300.

A little thought into taking a picture, and you may find you're pleasantly surprised with the results, no matter what the camera.
