A camera used for movies and such use film (though many directors are switching to digital) and news and the like use video. The difference is the frame rate in which you see it. Film is 24 frames per second and video is 30 FPS.

Besides what the first person mentioned, most movie cameras use very high quality lenses and the same is not always the case for video cameras used for TV. However, I would say that many TV series are getting closer to cinema quality. Shows like The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Shield, and others are filmed more like movies – and sometimes by movie directors and/or cinematographers.
Considering that most television drama is shot on video these days, a news camera has to be lighter than a drama or theatrical camera and there may be a trade off in quality for the portability. As well, drama is lit to get the best effect while news is either using available light or using a small light mounted on the front of the camera, resulting in a flatter lighting effect.
