Digital Cinematography Cameras
Digital cinematography is the process of capturing (recording)
motion pictures as
digital video images rather than traditional analog film frames. Digital capture may occur on
video tape,
hard disks,
flash memory, or other media which can record digital data through the use of a
digital movie video camera or other digital
video camera. As digital technology has improved in recent years, this practice has become dominant. Since the mid 2010s most of the movies across the world are captured as well as
distributed digitally.

Many vendors have brought products to market, including traditional film camera vendors like
Arri and
Panavision, as well as new vendors like
RED,
Blackmagic,
Silicon Imaging,
Vision Research and companies which have traditionally focused on consumer and broadcast video equipment, like
Sony,
GoPro, and
Panasonic.
Studio Camera
professional
video camera (often called a television camera even though the use has spread beyond
television) is a high-end device for creating electronic moving images (as opposed to a
movie camera, that earlier recorded the images on
film).
Originally developed for use in
television studios, they are now also used for
music videos,
direct-to-video movies, corporate and educational videos, marriage videos etc. Since the 2010s, most of the professional video cameras are digital professional video cameras.
With the advent of digital video capture in the 2000s, the distinction between professional video cameras and movie cameras disappeared as the
intermittent mechanism became the same. Nowadays, mid-range cameras exclusively used for television and other works (except
movies) are termed as professional video cameras.
Action Camera
action camera or action-cam is a digital camera designed for filming action while being immersed in it. Action cameras are therefore typically compact and rugged, and waterproof at surface. They typically record video as a priority over stills, as this allows continuous capture of the action without having to interact with the camera or indeed removing it from its housing, if an additional protective housing is used. Most record on a
micro SD card, and have a
Micro-USB connector.
Action cameras are associated with outdoor sports, and, often attached to helmets, surfboards or handlebars, are an integral part of many
extreme sports such as
base jumping and
wingsuit flying. Sometimes several cameras are used to capture specific perspectives, such as a helmet camera that sees the perspective of the actor in combination with a second camera attached to the environment of the rider, such as a board, wing, handlebar or wrist, that looks back onto the rider and records his reactions. Action-cams may therefore be referred to as
helmet cams and by other similar names.
Digital Camera
digital camera or digicam is a
camera that encodes
digital images and
videos digitally and stores them for later reproduction.
[1] Most cameras sold today are digital,
[2] and digital cameras are incorporated into many devices ranging from
PDAs and
mobile phones (called
camera phones) to vehicles.
Digital and film cameras share an optical system, typically using a lens with a variable
diaphragm to focus light onto an image pickup device.
[3] The diaphragm and shutter admit the correct amount of light to the imager, just as with film but the image pickup device is electronic rather than chemical. However, unlike film cameras, digital cameras can display images on a screen immediately after being recorded, and store and delete images from
memory. Many digital cameras can also record moving videos with
sound.
