Improved autofocus is number one on my list for a new Pentax DSLR. When I was thirty years old, I could manual focus on a 200 mph dragster. Now, I'm lucky if I can catch Grace at full trot. I've learned to work with Pentax autofocus when I must, and I have to say that the continuous mode is quite good -- providing the light is adequate. But low light autofocus performance is less than acceptable in both continuous and spot modes. I don't want or need full frame. I can make great 16 x 20 prints from K20D pics, and all of my clients are well satisfied with the resolution and detail of my images. But I would LOVE better autofocus. Write speed and buffer improvements are always welcome as well.
