It is likely that somebody may throw some facts in terms of f.p.s or the amount of mega pixels or the size of the range and lenses available etc. Sorry but I am making comment on my own experiences. So be proud of your Pentax!
Nothing to do with fps or pixels. Yes, Nikon JPG's are flat compared to Pentax. I trim my settings to compensate for that. There is no way a Kx will perform anywhere near a D7000 behind a 70-200mm f/2.8 in terms of AF performance, shooting action. If you’re talking static shots then no issue. As you say, that was your experience. The grass is not greener on the other side. A K-x can easily mix it with a D7000. Just because a big manufacturer spends a huge budget on marketing it does not make the product any better.

You dismiss lens availability. Why? One area that we Pentax users fall short on is lens availability, even some Sigma's have yet to be sold in PK mount. Other brands not only have their own glass but all third party glass.
Advertising does not convince Pro's to buy kit by the way. They know what they want and why they need it. Joe soap on the other hand is a different matter.
I use my D7000 alongside my K5 and have only two issues with it, one of which has been rectified on the D7100. The D7000 should have DOF preview as per the K5 and the mode dial should have had a release button (now done on the D7100). It does get images that my K5 cannot due to AF speed. I can try very hard to stuff up a flash shot but can't yet I can on my K5 if both systems on iTTL and PTTL resp.
As I've said before. Horses for courses. I look forward to the new Pentax bodies, especially the Pro level APS-C. The FF (if it appears) will be an automatic buy for me even if it's manual only as I want to use my FF Pentax glass without cropping. A function only available with Pentax film bodies at the moment (or Canon FF DSLR's).

If a Pentax lens is rated equal to or better than its equivalent Canikon lens then why should it be any cheaper?
