There are useful reasons for some people.  The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema
Camera, which is pretty small, can shoot in lossless compressed CinemaDNG RAW
1920x1080 30p video, which is in excess of 45MB/sec.  That will fill up
storage fast, and if you want to edit that video on the road, I can see a
high-speed thumb drive coming in handy.
