Here are some quick test sets:

I'll post a few more sets in this collection as time goes on.
The quick, first impression review:
In almost every way, it's a huge step forward from the K100.
Things that the K100 do better:
More comfortable shape
optical depht of field preview
visible focus points
I'm not sure I like the display on the back. I need a way to blank
the screen when working in the dark.
I haven't done a lot at ISO 200 to compare them, but I wouldn't be
surprised if the K100 proved to have slightly better image quality at
low ISO.
The two biggest areas of improvement for the Kx that I've noticed are:
metering (It seems to work!!!)
High ISO on it is amazing. ISO 6400 is actually usable. I need to
find out how they do 12,800, whether that's done with circuitry, or
just by underexposing at 6400 by a stop and correcting with math.
The autofocus seems like it may actually work better than the K20.
Overall, it is an amazing piece of kit for $500.
