Single- camera
A single camera is employed on the set, and each shot to make up a scene is taken independently.
Advantage
It is extremely mobile, and thus easily relocated.
It is largely independent of its surrounding
Multi-camera
Several cameras are employed on the set and simultaneously record or broadcast a scene.
Advantage
It reduces the time spent film editing or video editing the footage.
scenes may be shot far more quickly
It also reduces the complexity of tracking continuity issues

Director use Multi-camera to shoot sitcom
For me
my sitcom is like 《Movies vs Life》, there are two parts. there are similar location, characters and story, but the ending is different. part one's ending is normal, part two's ending is humor.
i want multi-cams and single-cams are both plentiful in my sitcom

When characters communicate each other inside, i will use Muti-camera to shoot, because i want to ensure the perform is fluency.
When i need to show character's emotion, i will use single-camera to shoot.
