I was at an event the other day and the media was there. I noticed that the cameras they were using to record and broadcast the event were just as large and bulky as I remember them being when I was a kid in the 80s. Pretty much everything else technology-wise has become more miniaturized in the past 40 years, but apparently not the TV cameras. Why is that?

Depend on witch camera’s your talking about. The portable camera’s for news teams etc absolutely got a lot smaller. The big stationary camera’s not that much. A lot of the size comes from ergonomics, eg you want a decent size focus ring, and a bgi viewfinder for the cameramen, and since its on a wheeled standard, there’s not much benefit in making it smaller anyway
