Can anyone tell me how consumer-grade colour video cameras are constructed?
I know how studio cameras using 3 or 4 video pickup tubes operate.
Consumer cameras simply don't seem to have the physical size necessary
to hold 3 tubes - but how do they generate the colour information with
only 1 tube?

The portable electronic-news-gathering type cameras seem to be about
as small as I would think you'd be able to build a 3-tube camera.
