If you're uncomfortable with these terms you should return the product and ask for your money back. It's perfectly legal as far as I know (IANAL).
This reads like a typical "we collect telemetry and there's nothing you can do about it" disclaimer, which I personally find quite offensive for such an expensive piece of kit. Just the 30k you paid is more than enough to fund a whole development cycle to add an opt-in dialogue to the camera software.
I don't know if you'll find any equivalent hardware that don't include such policies in their EULA, though.
