>For live, or sports, the camera and lens need to be extremely overengineered so every take is perfect, because you won't get a second attempt. what does this

  If you are shooting a movie, and the camera fails during a take, you redo the take. If you need to switch the lens for a better shot, you can do it. If you are broadcasting a football game, and the camera fails during the goal, the football players aren't going to re-enact the play for you. If you need to switch the lens for a better shot, you can't.

    Not only that but for any directed footage you can preposition cameras and frame each of them to get the perfect shot. With sports you can’t do that you have a limited number of positions and a dynamic scene so you never know what is going to happen and cameras have to be able to track the action and operate in a much wider range of framings. Sport lenses aren’t just over engineered for reliability it’s essentially like having an entire selection of lenses in one and being able to seamlessly transition between them. Also the action tends to be very fast so the cameras and lenses have to be extremely fast and always give you perfect motion clarity and focus. There’s no second chances but most importantly there’s also no post so you can’t crop out a frame for a better zoom or sharpen something that was a tad out of focus.
