Question: Is what your saying is that you have no problem with manual focussing. But does it autofocus well.
I'm thinking of getting the Kr, which is about the same price used. My eyes aren't so sharp anymore and I need all the
help I can get with manual focusing. I've been leery about the kx because so many people are saying it is hard to focus manually.
Why do they say that. Can't I just set the camera to beep when I've manually settled on the focus..perplexing.

if the lens has contacts for focus confirmation, the camera will peep when it's in focus (matching the focus point).
the K-x has a pentamirror OVF, the K-r has a pentaprism, which is better.
Over all if you're into MF stuff, I would get something with an EVF, it has focus peaking and is much easier to see VS an OVF. There's no pentax with EVF, but you can put an LCD loupe on and use that as an EVF if you switch the camera to live view.
