What battery issue are you referring to?
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
Apparently.

Using live view the focus tends to be slower. Using the camera as you should via the VF, there is no slowness issue. . .
i have used the K-x with a 50-200mm WR indoors for an event and the focusing is spot on.
Using an 18-250 lens indoors is not going to help you in low light. That lens's minimum aperture is F3.5 and you need at least F2.8 for low light.

The K-x is a very capable little camera indeed. Pentax has managed to squeeze what is, for this class of camera, an impressive feature set into the camera's minuscule, rather inconspicuous, body and the image quality, especially in low light, is the best we have seen so far in the entry-level bracket of the DSLR market. To put some icing on the cake, all of this comes at a currently, compared to the closest rivals, very attractive price point. To us the lack of visible.

He already has a Canon T1i so it's probably just a flame post.

I cannot agree more. Today I received my K-x and although you have to get used to certain things, it is a pleasure to use. I also have a K200D but the IQ by the K-x is better.

Have to admit that while I was away I realised that some pics weren't 'straight' so I started to use Live View - and it does seem slower focusing then - not to mention the number of rather loud clicks of things opening and shutting inside .
Having said that I would not part with my K-x -- I loooooove it
