Here is our members size Sample.

People notice the difference between a 1280x720 at ~3.8Mbps and a 640x480 sample at 1.5Mbps.

And the screencaps are perfect for making galleries. No more movie preview images that are lackluster. Everything is top notch.

The bottomline is quality. Currently, HDV is allowing the creation of high quality content that is a dramatic improvement on the current 'standard'.

This is not 2001; people are expecting more.
Even a SD could look just as good as that HD sample if put in a 1280x720 at ~3.8Mbps. If you mean HD=widescreen, almost any camcorder these days can record wide-screen video it's not unique to HD format but I have to agree with you about the screencaps, yes, they're usually a bit better than screencaps from SD but it's just too much trouble and time-consuming to go HD just for those screencaps, I'd rather get still pics of the scene which would be better than any screencaps HD or SD.
