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?

Lenses are constrained by the wavelength of light. That hasn’t changed. Cameras are a little smaller, as sensors have gotten smaller, but shoulders and arms and those ergonomic features are also unchanged. Making things smaller doesn’t actually make them better.
