The Video Camera Trends Currently Re-Shaping the Industry

A look into how digital cameras are continuing to change the landscape of the film and video industry, both nowt and into the near future.

If 2018 was the year of the mirrorless camera (in that digital mirrorless cameras finally overtook the popular DSLR camera design), 2019 is shaping up to be the year of 4K, 6K, or maybe even 8K.
