My budget is limited. And I'm past fiddling with technicalities to get a shot or not get a shot. And my subjects are not keen in accommodating my camera tinkering in the moment. The canon and Nikon entry level just seemed to work so darn quick in comparison to what I'm used to. Though I'm sure the Pentax focus faster than those in a heavy rain...

Entry level nikon are good for center point AF-C, but the 3D tracking is less reliable for small subjects since the D3x00 line have very few af points. If you want to play with 3D tracking I suggest you to invest at least in a D5x00.

Though the K-50 or most Pentax cameras AF isn't stellar, Pentax keeps many advantages in other areas so you may want to keep your K-50 along a Nikon kit for different purposes.
