What's more, how much does it change in case of shooting while you are moving? I mean, as in case you shoot while you are walking, or in case you try to take some pictures of your little son running and you too, you need moving to follow him around.
The longest shutter speed I can use Pentax 67 + 90mm lens while I'm moving, walking, without any traces of (micro) motion blur, even at a 100% magnification, is 1/250.
This is a quite frequent situation for me and some more information would be useful. May be someone has been taking pictures in a similar situation and then he experimented, he verified how the Pentax 645z work in these cases.
Thank you,

I think your question might be impossible to answer, because of all the variables involved and these vary for each person. This impossible to transfer that to you.
Perhaps your best option is to "convert/translate" your experience with the 6x7 to what you can expect on the 645z.
For example find a scenario where you are satisfied the micro movements are insignificant enough for your requirement on the 6x7.
Translating that to the 645z you only really have the ISO to play with when you are talking about moving subjects. Because freezing a moment with moving subjects has only one requirement, a fast shutter speed. The shutter speed depends how steady you are holding the camera in relation to the subject, also known as panning in larger movements.
With static subjects you could perhaps lower the shutter speed by one or two stops to account for the lesser mirror slap effect of the 645z compared to the 6x7.
Coming back to the ISO, as others have also mentioned, you can comfortably shoot at 3600 iso, as long as you don't under expose. At 6400 and higher you need to get comfortable with the post cleaning up in ACR/Lightroom.
I can't tell you the difference between the Fuji 50 mpx cameras and the 645z in terms of noise at high iso, because I don't have a Fuji to compare.
I suspect the 645z raw files have less noise than the Fuji, but I could be wrong. I have found in some cases the raw DNG files, ex camera is sharper and cleaner than the png files. Other may have found different results.
Compared to the 6x7 and what I've seen of the Fuji 50mpx cameras I find the 645 system, film and digital to be much better balanced. Even with a longer and heavier lens, the system just feels right and steady. I can take a shot with my one hand without much strain, with a faster shutter speed of course. I can't speak to other systems like Hasselblad and P1 on this topic, and others may not find balance an important attribute.
Everyone rides his horse his own way, as they say.
I hope you find a solution for your problem.
