If it's the firmware about battery level accuracy, I've done it, If it's a new "hidden" one, what does it do ?

Wow ! There's so much to read on this forum about un-satisfied K-x users regarding image sharpness, there's got to be something wrong.
The SR / Mirror slap thing looks like a common problem and I must say that I use SR almost all the time.
I'll keep on reading !

Well, I think you're all about right !
And I think Mark S. nailed a bit of my problem : Center point AF is not really a "point" but more of an area. And my shooting speed might be a bit slow.
I'm new to this DSLR world and I found that my old Panasonic bridge FZ18 had a really great lens stabilization that could make a 1/30 sec shot sharp and a very pointy center AF, so I must keep on trying and learning.
Thanks to all, and I think the case is closed !

Thanks to all for the clarifications.
I always use center point AF because the K-x doesn't display witch point it uses so I make my focus on what I want and then re.... (how do you say "recadrer" in english ???), re-frame my shot, so here I'm pretty sure I made my focus on the dead tree in the fore ground.
bymy141, you talk about back-focusing, what is this ? I've seen topics about this and how to adjust it on the K-x but that's about all. It's a bit much for my understanding of things !
So please continue with your suggestions.

Here is a shot taken today :
1- f/4.5 1/200sec ISO 100 SR on. (resized)
100% crop
I know the resolution is bad due to resizing but the problem is shown here.

My K-x is having troubles giving me a clear blurr-free shot at medium-slow speeds (1/50 to 1/100) and even at speeds of 1/120. It seems to me that's a speed sufficient enough for hand held shots but there's always a blurr. Vertical shots looks worse, I've tried SR on and off, can't tell if it helps, I think not.
Is there a known problem with K-x's AF ?
My usual settings are : P or A mode
ISO between 200 and 800
AF single center point
Evaluative metering
Wide apertures
SR on
Sample shots to come.

Hi to all !
My name is Luc, I live in the eastern part of the Province of Quebec, Canada, in a 50 000 people city on the bank of the St-Laurent river.
I've been a photographer for some time now but more seriously for 3-4 years.
Just bought my first DSLR in january 2010, before I was using a Panasonic Lumix FZ 18 witch I still use and like.
Now with a Pentax K-x (black), I'm in a whole new world and my presence here is to learn as much as possible about techniques and lenses.
See you all soon in these pages.
Luc.
