define good camera.
it's a bit weird because it often turns out that cameras with user interfaces are cheaper economy of scales. that being said, a market for almost barbone sensors on pcb's seems to be building and is lead by raspberry pi's camera modules where the the hq module has a reasonably sizes sensor but still a far cry from mft, aps-c and full frame sizes, but are on parity with most phones. from there it pretty much moves into cameras with ui's but controllable with some kind of vendor sdk or libgphoto. i imagine it's a matter of economies at scale, but for some reason it's almost impossible to buy a good almost barbone sensor and if it's possible e.g. the sensor 61mp ff sensor used in the a7rV is available almost barbone for astro photography, it's still very expensive.
