The camera I use is outdated, but still works well for my purpose. The first one sold for $899 (years ago). Then I bought a retired one for $150. Used it for years. Then I found I could find them very inexpensive now. So I keep using them because I know how to get the best out of them. When they break down, I retire them. (So far only one has done that.) But the best deal I got off
ebay was for three of these cameras shipped for $25. So I'm set for now for them.
