OUCH! That is not what I wanted to hear. The AF and tracking speed I get out of my Sony A700 with a cheap Tamron 28-75 f2.8 is significantly better than anything Pentax has to offer today. If I am interpreting what you are saying properly, Pentax will have to improve their PDAF system to match the speed of the Sony system?
Thanks for your help,

BTW, just to clarify my position on this. The idea of the next Pentax being smaller than the K20D is, IMO, great. Now if the AF tracking and low light focusing can
match (not beat) the Sony A700 I'd be able to dump the Sony and shoot just Pentax even if that means buying some new lenses.
