Well, I can't (and won't) do any timed tests, but the K100D is much 
better at low light AF than the last gen of Pentax DSLRs. I have an *ist 
DS and it has trouble locking onto subjects when it's dark, and when it 
does lock-on, it's slow; the K100D on the other hand, locks on very 
quickly even in low-light situations. Another thing is that the AF motor 
seems to have been replaced with a much faster one, higher pitched whine 
but it's fast, faster with NiMH batteries than the DS is with CRV-3s. I 
haven't done any tests or trials, but I use both cameras day-in-day-out 
and the difference is very noticeable.

hope this helps,
