> Bayer pattern sensors were more common in DSLRs, because they were an extension of 35mm film, and you had to have a single, flat imaging device to work with film optics.

A lot of people were shooting video with their DSLRs before more dedicated devices became available (myself included). Is there actually a fundamental difference between a DSLR and video camera at that point?

I doubt it. DSLRs didn't have video shooting capabilities till quite later on (late 00's?) compared to phones and point and shoot digital cameras which did much earlier.


Yeah you're right - I was off by a few years. Seems like it wasn't common until 2009
