Professional video camera

A professional video camera (often called a "television camera" even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. Less advanced video cameras used by consumers are often referred to as camcorders.

There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (which are, confusingly, called camcorders too) used for ENG image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals.
