A
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.
