People have gotten spoiled by just how cheap cameras have become in the last 30 years. If one were to use inflation adjusted, constant dollars, or how long, on average, one would have to work to pay for a camera you'd see how inexpensive they've become. 1000, 2003 dollars wouldn't pay for a 1973 Spotmatic. That Canon's price is around a week's pay for the average person, and a lot less for many.
