In what way is the K-5 deficient in auto-focus?
takes too long to get there, or doesnt get it right?


It's pretty fast, depending on the lens, but is noticeably slower when compared to the midrange AF from the other guys. Mine is also very inaccurate under studio lights. I have to dial in the maximum AF bias to get close (really bad front focus), and unfortunately, it isn't consistent, so I never really know where it is going to focus. Under studio lights I am lucky to get an AF hit rate of 30% unless I go to live view, which combined with face detection is a decent alternative to focusing manually with the tiny viewfinder, and is accurate enough.
