I think you can safely conclude that if the K-x did typically take silly impractical times to lock in autofocus on a subject then the product would have been ridiculed off the market long ago.
You're right, your kids will have grown into teenagers in that time.
Yes it will "hunt", and my K-x certainly does in difficult light conditions or impossible focusing lengths, and esp with some lenses notorious for that, but what camera doesn't?
On the contrary, I find it
amazingly fast actually, for a cheap-featured clunker using mostly in-body driven AF.
And naturally, when fitted with a lens such as a Sigma with HSM, it can be even faster and almost whisper quiet too.
K-x does have a when-focus-is-locked-in viewfinder indicator Btw, and as someone else pointed out the K-r has supposedly better.
If you can go the extra $$ I'd buy a K-r instead for extra goodies and if only because K-x is like reading last week's newspaper now.
