The old days, many years ago, (about 6 actually), when my primary
cameras were an LX and an MX. The LX had a blazing sync speed of 1/75th
second.

Define the old days ;-)
My FM2n and FE2 (both circa 1983) and my F801s (circa 1991) all have
1/250 sync.

the biggest problem with slow sync speeds is you
end up having to use small fstops to get the
ambient light exposure correct and that robs you
of flash range and/or flash fill ratio, but
half stop is half a stop, its a moderate improvement.
Compared to 1/60 in the old days 1/250
is fantastic though.

But you lose much of the flash output. I use it all the time. It's a
poor substitute for real high speed synch.

It's called High Speed sync.
Works with PUF and external wired.

The difference between 1/180th and 1/250th flash synch is
substantial when shooting a brightly backlit subject in bright

I wonder how one can draw such conclusions:
* without trying the camera
* seing anything else than sample (usually uninteresting whatever
the
brand) and a picture (of the girl) from internal Jpeg with sharpness
set a -2, custom image settings set to portrait (!!)
* You didn't test AF and probably you didn't read reports of quite
speedier AF specially those with SDM,
* Light type sensor for correcting AF (less FF/BF issue e.g. in
tungsten light)
* You ignore the fact that Mjpeg may mean a whole lot better quality
(at the bit rate mentionned by Pentax) that Panasonic GH1 or Canon
5dii,
* AF and aperture control in video (5dii where are you?)
* That the 'huge' difference between 1/180 and 1/250 is a half stop
(wow, huge). Btw, 5Dii is stuck at 1/200,
