Just make a camera that looks like X100 for $500-700 that can be cranked out.

I’ve always wanted a simple digital camera. No screen, no settings beyond A/SS/ISO, just a shutter button and a viewfinder. Maybe a single full auto mode if you must. Either AF, MF or zone focus. Basically the same as an old film camera but using digital media. And, crucially, using a large sensor: Four Thirds or preferably larger. I’ve wanted it for me, and I’ve wanted it for my kids as they learn to use cameras.

As far as I know, only one such camera has ever been made, it sold for £4k when it was in production, and they basically never come up used because they’re so sought-after.

Show me a budget version of that and I’ll be first in the queue.
