Video Camera FAQs
What should I look for in a professional video camera?
If you’re shooting content and making movies on a professional scale, then you’ll want a camera with a full-frame sensor and in-body image stabilization (IBS) that can shoot in at least 4K resolution at 60 fps — and possibly higher. Depending on how big your crew is, you might also want a fully articulating LCD screen.
What is a 4K video camera?
A 4K video camera is one that can capture footage in 4K resolution — also known as UHD. 4K is commonly standardized to mean 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, though you’ll want to check your camera’s documentation to verify aspect ratio (16:9 is the most common). Although many TVs, monitors, and streaming platforms are limited to 1080p resolution (standard HD), 4K continues to be the broadcast standard and looks to be for the next several years at least.
