I was told BetaCam format has been discontinued, so what is the most
popular format used in broadcasting station and production house now ?
Especially for news ?
Is it DVCAM or XDCAM, or others ?

DigiBeta is pretty widely used, as would be DVCPRO-HD and/or HDCAM dependin
on the gear for HD. XDCAM is being pushed by Sony but is really only
worthwhile for ENG as opposed to standard production.
