This is largely driven by Gen Z's preference for tactile, physical media over digital immediacy Analoguewonderland.

* Technical Shifts: While Super 35mm sensors currently lead with a 30% share, there is a rapid shift toward Full Frame and 8K resolution to future-proof content for major streaming platforms Fortunebusinessinsights Linkedin.
