well, high quality digital is a whole different game from film. in the 1980's the closest thing was a VHS camcorder and my 4k micro four thirds digital camera absolutely blows a 1980's VHS camcorder out of the water. Yes the image quality of a 4K camera is technically less than that of a film video camera, but show a 1980's movie producer a digital workflow and their mind would be blown. You shoot the picture and can then immediately review and even edit. So 4K video beats home VHS on quality by leaps and bounds, and for anyone who would have been producing video on film the workflow for digital is amazing.
