Really? Is there no AF indicator in the finder of the K-x? Even my

The K-x has no indication of the selected AF point, while focus
confirmation is there. Sorry for the lack of precision.
That wouldn't work at all for me. I'm constantly changing the selected
point and locating it on my subject. Can't imagine how anyone can shoot
without it.
You can revert to the old technique of center-spot AF, AF lock and
recompose. Not always the quickest and most effective way to shoot, but
doable. Before Pentax fixed the AF-selection bug, I did that with the K-7.
To me, it reduces the camera to point and shoot status or, at best, manual
focus only.
That's the main reason for me asking a K-7 with K-x sensor/processor.
However, the K-7 AF point selection is not as good as the K20D one, as you
risk to enable Live View all the time while trying to change the AF point.
It happened to me several times while testing the K-7. After some trial &
error, such a disaster no longer happened so often, but the fear was enough
to slower my K-7 operability at eye level, while the K20D is faultless in
that respect.
