Events and places of worship.

They also mentioned an outdoor PTZ IP camera. I doubt they'll outprice Hikvision

Probably has to do with this, just below:

So, no, sadly, they won't be replacing my $100-$200 Hikvision cameras (which are great for what you pay!) :p

Given the video above, professional content production (live events, corporate and the likes).

Good news is : in house, canon 1" sensor with dpaf. Oneday, we could see a powershot with a canon 1" sensor.
Canon has had 1" sensors with DPAF is pro camcorders for quite some time.
What surprised me is that the one camera without DPAF has hybrid AF.
I was not aware of any Canon cameras with that.

Four unmanned cameras replace four cameramen.
You might keep one as VJ, but you save 3 heads crew.
Make the math: Three dayrates, three hotel nights,
three seats on plane or car , three heads catering and
per diem per event saved - the cameras pay for themselves
pretty fast.

ROI might happen on the first event already.
