ERNR, It's not that you can't get the kind of shots that you just described with a PZ-1 or Pentax equipment, but that Ken told us that 4.3 FPS and 1/250 shutter synch were important distinctions over the MZ-S and he described why. So my comment was merely that if you need/want those kind of features, and are prepared to pay some big bucks, why not consider the leaders in that area.
I was under the impression that the specs on the PZ-1 were closer to the MZ-S (3 FPS, 1/4000 and 1/200 for shutter synch). If so, that attests even more to your skill as a photographer to get the shot rather than just rely on brute force equipment, but certainly may weaken Ken's argument that the PZ-1p would do a better job for him than an MZ-S. I personally subscribe to the better skills angle rather than beefier camera.
