• $34.50 in 1959 ($259 in 2010 dollars)
The Starmatic was one of several auto-exposure cameras introduced in 1959, a big year for auto-exposure. (For SLRs, too, as the Nikon F debuted that year.)
The Starmatic was expensive for a Brownie at $34.50 ($259 in 2010 dollars). By comparison, the Brownie Starflash cost only a third as much. Even an Olympus Pen (no meter, though) was only about $30.
