do you mean the discontinued Panasonic BL-C1A?  was about $80-90... now

You'll need to find a camera that is available, and will continue to be 
so.  This, by the way, is the classic problem with trying to move a 
great ham solution into a non-ham user community.  We're happy working 
with surplus and/or obsolete gear.. you can get it for a good price, we 
do our own service, we figure out our own user manuals, etc.

It's really, really hard to have a solution that uses inexpensive 
consumer gear (which has a very short market cycle) in these kinds of 
applications (where they want it to last at least several years, 
preferably more)
