If you think buying an $8,000 camera makes you a filmmaker, think again.
That was the spirit behind our latest Pop Up Podcast episode — a raw, brutally honest breakdown of the real tiers of video cameras. Filmed and produced using mobile video podcast services in the heart of Downtown Toronto, this episode was about separating hype from craft, and gear from storytelling.
🎙 What Is a Pop Up Podcast?
Popcast is Toronto’s go-to team for on-location podcast production — offering high-end, cinematic mobile setups for brands, creators, and storytellers who want to shoot wherever they are.
Whether it’s your office, a cultural space, or an event, we bring the lights, mics, and multi-camera setup so you can just show up and speak.
This time, our Pop Up Podcast setup was used to break down what truly makes a professional camera tier-worthy — not just megapixels or clout, but sensor depth, dynamic range, and the creative eye behind the lens.
🎥 From Tier 7 to Tier 1: Not All Cameras Are Created Equal
This episode explored the 7 tiers of video cameras, covering:
-
Tier 7: Toys – Flip cameras, outdated handycams, and over-the-counter gear made for memories, not money.
-
Tier 5–6: Still Cameras & GoPros – Great for beginners, but lacking the specs and workflow needed for high-end production.
-
Tier 3–4: Workhorse & Prosumer Video Cameras – The real tools used in commercial shoots, Netflix productions, and branded content.
-
Tier 1: Movie Magic – ARRI Alexas, Sony FX, RED Komodos — cameras that back Oscar-winning stories.
But here’s the punchline: expensive cameras don’t make great content — cinematographers do.
