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?
In: Technology
A camera – specifically the lens – collects light like a bucket collects water. A smaller bucket can’t hold as much water as a larger bucket. Light works the same as it always has, so we still need big lenses/cameras to collect enough light to work.
