Not including the niche ones, or weird re-releases of Panasonic compacts, I came up with this...

GFX100RF / S1R II / Sigma BF / Powershot V1 / OM-3 / Leica SL3-S / Sony a1 II / Nikon Z50 II / Fuji X-M5 / Leica Q3 43 / Canon Cinema EOS C80 / EOS R1 / R5 II / Sony ZV-E10 II / Z6 III / GH7 / S9 / X-T50 / GFX 100 II / GR III HDF / Leica SL3 / X100 VI / OM1 II

(7000+4500+800+5900+6500+900+800+7000+5000+2000+1000+2000+3500+5000+7500+1300+1600+2000+2500+1000+6000+1600+2000=77,400)

All RRPs in Euros for the notable new cameras released in the past 12 months.

77400/23=3,365.217 

If you take out the crop sensor models / APS-C, we get an average price of 4350.

Who do they think we are?

Oligarchs?

Overal average shipped value is a lot lower

But that's because of all apsc bodies out there. At $800 their profit margin is very thin. So they have to double it at least. That's why the $1500-2500 area is so crowded with options.
