Why haven’t television cameras gotten any smaller?

468 viewsOtherTechnology

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?

TV cameras are typically used in a studio for hours and hours at a time every single day. They need to be moved around frequently and they need to be solid as a rock so there are no vibrations or unwanted movement.

This leads to heavier and bulkier camera rigs.
