They’re not shooting for max resolution , you’re right. But they are shooting for just the right moment in time, hence, those cameras that can shoot 12-14 fps, sustained over a large number of exposures. Phones and mirrorless can’t do that, at that level. Shoot an Alexa, Red, etc and just pull frames from the video, as long as you don’t need quick focusing. They’re using the best tools for their jobs, so, clakity-clack.

These rat-a-tat clicking cameras were used in the White House at all of PDJT’s meetings with various groups early in his term. The clicking noises were so distracting. There are no videos for the archives in which the voices of the participants will be clearly heard. I don’t understand why video cameras and 1 to 3 still cameras can’t be enough.

I have a Nikon 1 that is rated at 60 fps at full resolution. It can shoot 400/1200 fps at lesser resolution.
