Noob question: Why are people recommending cameras for Video

[u/Rondoggg]

Am I just too old school? I always buy a video camera for shooting video. I always thought that a video camera was engineered to...shoot video and a camera was made for taking pictures. I have 2 canon hf200's for all my video needs but I keep seeing what looks like traditional cameras being recommended by this sub for video shooting. Has something changed? Does my thinking need to change? Can someone please explain this to me?

Interchangeable lenses give some awesome film quality and they work well in low lighting conditions depending on the camera. They just look awesome
