I'm not sure a digital camera is a great proxy for relative buying power. Or, in 2024, even picture-taking proclivities. An iPhone 15 likely has satisfactory photo capabilities for most non-professional photo enthusiasts.
And I don't object to basket-of-goods type comparables. But it's inherently messier than just comparing nominal output. Arguing about bread costs in Mongolia vs. Bolivia seems sillier than just nominal snapshots.
