Long before BMD shipped a single camera, Apple *created* this image. I say created because you'll notice the scale is totally wrong. The camera isn't anywhere near as small as this against an iMac. You also can't use the camera directly in FCPx.
You could run Ultrascope on an iMac over thunderbolt.
You can capture directly to the iMac to do longer than an SSD's worth of continuous recording over thunderbolt.
There's two unique Thunderbolt only applications right there plus a specific stand alone app that can only work with Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt is certainly useful to those who like those features.
This is the first camera to use Thunderbolt. And still is. And there are Thunderbolt specific features
