This is even true for digital gear. At base ISO, cameras like a D7100/7200 have as good image quality as it gets for that class, and you can pick those up for cheap. Even fairly high-end, high-resolution full-frame cameras can be had for less than 500 quid (e.g. D800) and those still have outstanding image quality; there really wasn't a whole lot of major improvements in image quality in the last ten years when you control the light (i.e. don't need high ISO).

Things get expensive if you want...

... best low-noise performance (needs sensor from the last ~five years, older stuff usually has color shifts and other issues which are not easy to fix)

... video

... mirrorless

... fast AF (especially if you also want mirrorless)

... all of the above

Not even necessarily – the Sony a6300 retails around 300 bucks used, which gives you 4K30 or 2K120 video at 8bit. It’s an APS-C mirrorless with fast AF, and its low-noise performance is (although a few years out of date) excellent for its price.

And in real-life circumstances it’s better than a Google Pixel.
