A digital movie camera for digital cinematography is a video camera that captures footage digitally rather than the historically used movie camera, which shoots on film stock. Different digital movie cameras output a variety of different acquisition formats. Cameras designed for domestic use have also been used for low-budget independent productions.
Since the 2010s, digital movie cameras have become the dominant type of camera in the motion picture industry.[1]
In 2017, 92 percent of films were shot on digital.
