There is probably a cost related issue as well. Since the camera is thought to be directed at advanced amatorial users maybe Pentax guessed they could use a slightly slower motor drive and a less performing shutter without losing too many possible customers at a cost advantage. I have a Z1-p and I know I never used the continuous mode for the motor and never used speeds faster than 1/2000. As I shoot soome macro the max. synch time does weigh more in my personal priorities so 1/180 while not unacceptable would have been a minus in the camera evaluation.
