* 1946 RCA's TK-10 studio camera used a 3" IO – [[Video camera tube#Image orthicon|Image Orthicon]] tube with a 4 lens turret. The RCA TK-30 (1946) was widely used as a field camera. A TK-30 is simply a TK-10 with a portable camera control unit.

* In 1950 the arrival of the [[Vidicon]] camera tube made smaller cameras possible. 1952 saw the first Walkie-Lookie "portable cameras".  Image Orthicon tubes were still used till the arrival of the Plumbicon.
* The [[RCA TK-40]] is considered to be the first [[color television]] camera for broadcasts in 1953. RCA continued its lead in the high-end camera market till the (1978) TK-47, last of the high-end tube cameras from RCA.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JMTnTBmt7F0C&q=image+orthicon+camera&pg=PA88|title=The History of Television, 1942 to 2000|first=Albert|last=Abramson|date=2 June 2018|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9780786412204|via=Google Books}}</ref>
* 1954 RCA's TK-11 studio camera used a 3" IO – Image Orthicon tube with a four-lens turret. The RCA TK-31 (1954) was widely used as a field camera. A TK-31 is simply a TK-11 with a portable camera control unit. There is some commonality between the TK-11/TK-31 and the earlier TK-10/TK-30.
* [[Ikegami Tsushinki|Ikegami]] introduced the first truly portable hand-held TV camera in 1962.
* [[Philips]]' line of [[Norelco]] cameras were also very popular with models such as PC-60 (1965), PC-70 (1967) and PCP-90 (1968 Handheld). Major US broadcaster [[CBS]] was a notable early customer of the PC-60 and PC-70 units. [[Philips]]/BTS-[[Broadcast Television Systems Inc.]] later came out with an LDK line of camera, like its last high end tube camera the LDK 6 (1982).  Philips invented the [[Diode gun Plumbicon|Plumbicon]] pick up [[video camera tube]] in 1965, that gave tube cameras a cleaner picture. BTS introduced its first handHeld [[Frame transfer CCD]]- [[Charge-coupled device]]-CCD camera the LDK90 in 1987.
* Bosch [[Fernseh]] marketed a line of high end cameras (KCU, KCN, KCP, KCK) in the US ending with the tube camera KCK-40 (1978). Image Transform (in [[Universal City, California]]) used specially modified 24 frame KCK-40 for their "Image Vision" system. This had a 10&nbsp;MHz bandwidth, almost twice [[NTSC]] bandwidth. This was a custom pre [[HDTV]] video System. At its peak this system was used to make "[[Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl]]" in 1982. This was the first major high-definition analog wideband videotape-to-film [[post production]] using a [[film recorder]] for [[Film-out|film out]].
* In the 2000s, major manufacturers like Sony and Philips introduced the [[flash storage]] based digital television cameras. Since the 2010s, this storage system has become the most widely used.
