Honestly Nikon's autofocus is better than Pentax's but unless you are
willing to spend lots more then you'll get roughly the same performance
from either. In my experience when you need autofocus most is when it's
least reliable no matter what camera brand you choose, so get what you
like and uses your existing lenses if you have any you plan to keep.
