If you look at their approach, they say, "We want to sell a camera for $3K or $4K, what feature can we pack in there and keep it at that price range?" That's their approach. They've said that many times. Sure, BMD could do 1000fps if they wanted to, but it would cost more. I wouldn't complain unless you're willing to pay for it. If you are willing to pay for it, then wait until BMD comes out with a camera with that spec and then buy it or go buy something else that's available right now. They prioritized 24p and threw in 30p. I'd say that was a wise choice. I shoot at 24fps much more frequently than 240fps, etc.
The next logical step (so it seems) is for BMD is to release a camera that does higher FPS. Maybe next year at NAB. Maybe not. But that is their plan - to pack as many features as possible into a certain price point.
It's true, you can never make everyone happy. You give them features previously only available at $20,000 or MUCH more, and they're still not satisfied.
