Yeah, ya got me there. I just figured it'd be fitting now to point out that if 100 Mbps is good, 1.5 Gbps must be better. ;-)

Yes but for many filmmakers/video producers that 1.5Gbps is irrelevant as they have no way of capturing/recording it.

For the same reason, not that many people on these boards are excited about, say, the Panavision genesis or the Arri D20 (though I expect some are) - that level of kit is out of their reach.

Dylan,

It is not too hard to capture the uncompressed 4:2:2 HD-SDI output, certainly you can do it for less than the cost of the camera, so many are considering this workflow for the best quality images.
