Do better cameras = worse filmmakers? "They end up with 650 hours of footage, and it's all mediocre"

Werner Herzog being interviewed on stage by the International Documentary Association (IDA).

Modern cameras are amazing devices, capable of amazing things. But it's very possible that they're so good, they've actually made us worse at capturing images. 

This is true in a whole bunch of different technical aspects, but think about it purely in the terms of film versus digital – and trust me, this isn't going the way you might expect.
