How to distinguish the grades of cameras

The grades of cameras used to be easy to distinguish. Now, because SLR can also shoot video, the most novel camera is SLR structure, and the world is a bit chaotic. Let me talk about the traditional camera grading first.

1, professional cameras are 3 CCD or 3 CMOS. Because the traditional professional camera needs to divide the light into RGB three colors to process, the restored color is good. Therefore, the traditional single-chip CCD or CMOS camera can be considered unprofessional or pseudo-professional. It is called pseudo-professional because Sony has produced some of the lowest-grade so-called professional cameras, which are actually monolithic CCD or CMOS, with large appearance and professional serial models, but the performance of the machine is really only 5,000 yuan for household DV. Panasonic has a similar pseudo-professional model.

2. The ccd or cmos size of professional cameras will not be too small. Generally speaking, the smallest is a one-third inch CCD or CMOS. Some have three quarter-inch CCDs or CMOS. Here is the traditional classification of cameras. The most advanced camera is called broadcast level. The CCD of a broadcast camera is generally two-thirds of an inch. The second is called professional level or business level. This level is generally one-half to one-third inch CCD or CMOS. The smallest one has three quarter-inch ones. The lowest is home grade, and the smallest is one-eighth of an inch, and it is still a single piece. But the top grade for home use is three pieces and one-third inch, which is the same as the professional grade.
