A consumer / prosumer camcorder’s image quality is generally associated with home video, corporate video and low-end television production due to its small sensor and “video look”.
The shallow depth-of-field and color saturation achieved with film cameras and high-end digital cameras are associated with television dramas, commercials and feature films.
