>>3324287>So is buying a camcorder useless compared to buying a camera then?Not entirely. Various REDs or Blackmagics or Canon C300 [... and so on, obviously including cameras more expensive than these] are in many or even all regards better for video.
But they cost more, and video already can look quite decent in HD or 4K on the most suited of the photo/video cameras. Ergo using the better suited of the currently available photo cameras for video is a popular option.
