Cameras
 We
can group television cameras into three basic groups:
Studio cameras, field cameras, and consumer camcorders.
STUDIO
CAMERAS: These are the big expensive monsters that
are used only in studio settings: soaps, talk shows,
live sports etc. The may weigh more than 100 pounds,
but studio cameras have the absolute finest picture
quality available. But that quality comes at a premium.
Studio
cameras can cost well in excess of $100,000. And while
the image is better than a $5,000 camera, it's not that
much better. Maybe a 10 percent improvement. Studio
cameras are configured to make zoom and focus very easy
for the operator. And they are typically mounted on
big studio pedestals that make dollying easy.
